lamentation

photo by barbara morgan

I feel like all photographers are influenced by eachother, whether they realize it or not. this barbara morgan photograph in particular called lamentation reminds me a little of herb ritts. I love the way dancer/choreographer martha graham looks in this pic...I love all the exaggerated movement and the shape her body takes. the lighting adds so much drama, as well...and the blanket makes her movement look so much more intense. I don't know why, but when I look at this photo I feel like listening to madonna's frozen, wrapping myself in a blanket and creating strange silhouettes...there is something so fashionable about a blanket shape...
