We have started a conversation around how clothing affects us, exploring its impact on individuals, communities, our mental health and the planet.
LIZ SUNSHINE// Documentary, Portrait and Fashion Photographer.
“When I first aspired to become a photographer, all I wanted was to be working. I thought to be a successful creative meant being a working creative. Now a decade into my career, having worked with a client list that I would once have only dreamt of, I’m choosing a new way forward.
I am turning my attention to being present and proactive in how I create and what I put out into the world.
From here the story continues through a process of contemplation and intent, a deep dive into the practice of photography as an art form, a means of communication and as a valuable documenter.
In my experience, street style can be defined by two common photographic practices; the visual portrayal of people in public spaces, a sub-culture of street photography focused on people and their personal style, and through the commercial use of the documentary aesthetic leveraged to connect with a target audience and sell a product.
Street style documentation offers a form of cultural record keeping. It provides insight into a place and time, the people, their visual lifestyle, attitudes and values from the perspective of the record keeper - the photographer.
In the technological age of rapid and saturated image sharing, I want my voice to redefine how we see street-style. I want to uplift everyday people through images rendered with both individual and collective meaning. Exploring how the way we dress can not only change how we see ourselves, but also affect the practical measures of our day, along with our confidence and mental health.
My photographs will outlive me, and I’ll be working towards the pursuit of historical relevance for many years to come.” Liz Sunshine.
