Please join us on Thursday 4 September, 2pm UK time for TenderChats our ongoing series of live conversations. We invite Adam Murray author of The Domestic Stage: When Fashion Comes Home published by Thames & Hudson.
A bold interpretation of contemporary photography, this book explores the role of the domestic interior in fashion photography and its importance in defining a new kind of fashion image.
Since the 1990s, fashion imagery has evolved from the aspirational and glamorous into an experimental genre created by interdisciplinary artists, art directors, and photographers. The domestic space or where we live has acquired a key role as an intimate setting for this kind of playful exploration, in which personal stories are told, and fashion shots gain authenticity. Illustrated interviews with or editorials on twenty-two established and newer image-makers offer exceptional insights into this phenomenon. Featured photographers include Corinne Day, Tierney Gearon, Clifford Prince King, and Tina Barney, to name a few.
TenderChats is an ongoing series of 30-minute musings on the magic and permanence of printed matter. A series of live conversations will be hosted by writer and publisher Dal Chodha on Instagram TV @tenderbooks.
