The Cultured Shirt by TeamHyphenPants on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Artist's Comments

A little while ago we decided to open our work up to others to be part of. Since we were surrounded by incredibly creative people, we did a call out to people we work with in theatre asking if they had any concepts they would like us to develop.

This concept comes from Emma Palackic.

Concept:

We photographed people with their favourite item of clothing and only that favourite item. We interviewed each person about said item as we shot. Simple, yes, but we thought it was damn spiffy.

Twenty of the models involved had never modeled before and none (bar *Halohid) had shot nudes.

A massive thankyou to ~solitudoaeternus for providing the lighting equipment and teaching us to use it. We would have been lost without you, Vlad. Thankyou. Also thanks to Kristina Benton for doing everyone's hair. She had only twenty minutes on each person and did a fantastic job! We very much recommend her!

For this shoot *eckyducky was shooting and *Halohid was directing and interviewing.

Simon's shirt

I brought this shirt at the Salvos because it was cheap and because Sarah said I looked good in blue.

I consider buttoned shirts to be a part of my new growing up-ness as opposed to t-shirts.

Its my theatre shirt – my culture shirt – its the first thing I go to when I'm going out.
