PHOTOGRAPHER: ADEBAYO JOLAOSO
This series is an ode to fashion photography. For Adebayo, fashion is subject to whomever is wearing it and the the notion that fashion is specific is deeply rejected. Through this series Adebayo aimed to display the idea that fashion is simply what you make it. In this image, Adebayo employs the lens to show alternative perspectives of fashion, using the remains of seamless white paper backdrops from the studio to create and elegant flowing gown. There is an intriguing contrast between the rough, worn out surface of the staircase and the smooth, crisp fabric of the skirt. The block of white fabric acts as a blank canvas to highlight the ornate shapes of the staircase and intricate beauty of the models torso and face as she turns to face the camera.
