The art of fashion photography.
She Is Frank.
Fashion photography layers the glossy magazine pages. Who are we not to be visually stimulated? In a mini series, the objective is to expose the raw talent behind photos we eagerly seek inspiration from. First on the list is international love, She Is Frank.
Q&A:
By definition of you, the photographer, what is photography?
It’s my access to hot girls.
Inspiration and influence for pursuing this medium.
I’m very inspired by food and sex. And women, I’m inspired by them too! Men don’t really inspire me. I love how you can transform a woman in to so many different characters. I find women are easier to mold in to a certain character through fashion, accessories, wigs and makeup. With men, you just get what you’re given.
When viewing the work of a photographer, a story should be told, a message should be conveyed, or/and an emotion should be evoked. Do you capture images with this underlined goal, or is there a greater purpose behind your work?
I like my photos to have a purpose. I don’t just take photos of pretty girls against pretty backdrops because what’s the point? I always try to tell a story. As a human being in this plastic life I have so many views and opinions, don’t we all?
Why did you choose to focus on fashion versus any other "subject"?I’m obsessed with models and beautiful women and I love fashion. Why would I ever want to photograph landscapes when I can photograph beautiful women?
Who's Frank the Photographer's muse? You're free to have more then one.(lol)
I haven’t met my muse yet but I’d like that model Eniko Mihalik to be my muse, I think I could do some amazing work with her. There’s something really cheeky about her, I like cheeky girls. Eniko, if you’re reading this, holla!
What was one of your most successful moments and what do you look to achieve now?
I’m never satisfied with where I’m at, I never will be. Even when I achieve what I want, I’m like ‘Oh, I’ve done that now, how can I do better?!’ I want to become the best fashion photographer I can be, if I just sit back and pat myself on the back, that will never happen.
Personal Opinion;Mario Sorrenti vs. Terry Richardson: Both are fairly ballsy in their approach. Would you categorize one over the other?
Oh I’m a Terry fan. I’ve been a fan of Terry Richardson before he did fashion photography. It was so obvious to me straight away that what he was doing wasn’t porn, he’s photos are so clever and brave. Sorrenti is absolutely amazing but he’s not effortless, Terry is.
Describe She Is Frank in three words.
Really, really sexy.
Editorials or Street Fashion?
Oh definitely editorials. I’m more drawn to fiction that reality.
First impression of Cocaine Pretti?
French Brand, Gat Rimon, stamps a tailored look suitable for all classes of the fashion whelm.
Rome Fortune, we're not sure there's a qualified label for the package he's creating, branding and pushing. This music artist blends mellow rhymes with clever word play...
