"Classically composed, softly focused, elegant and melancholic, Deborah Turbeville’s distinctive photographic tableaux present us with broken
narratives. Describing herself as “avant-garde and extreme”, her stories
are only partly told, featuring seemingly lost characters connected to
the audience through their direct yet subdued interaction with the
camera’s lens. Born in 1938, Turbeville is of a generation of fashion
photographers, alongside Richard Avedon and Guy Bourdin
who focused on the subject in their photographs as opposed to the
clothes they are wearing, and who followed their own distinct conceptual
agenda, rather than that of the stylist." Well said. (via Nowness)
