My interview with a vampire #tbt #nangoldin

Your work is primarily concerned with honesty, so how does that work when you photograph fashion or celebrities?
That’s not so much about honesty. It’s more about finding my own aesthetic in the situation — trying to stay true to my own aesthetic instead of doing what they want. A lot of fashion replicated my work but it was all cleaned up. I can have fun, I can enjoy it. It’s not my goal to become close to Robert Pattinson, who I did a big Dior campaign with. I’d never heard of him before! One of my great things is I don’t know who anybody is. If the designer interests me and the location interests me then it’s easier. I photograph places a lot now — architecture, the sky, water. I’m more interested in all of that right now. Sometimes I meet people who touch me. My friends have gotten old and they’re not always as happy to be photographed. But I still photograph some of the same people [whom she commonly refers to as her tribe] that I did at the beginning.

Nan Goldin par Abel FerraraNan Goldin et Abel Ferrara se sont rencontrés à Venise pour une collaboration artistique inédite. Pour l'occasion, le cinéaste a fait une interview décapante de la photographe. En exclusivité.

Pourtant, tu es obsédée par l'esthétique, la mode...
J'ai dit "esthétisant", pas esthétique ! J'ai adoré prendre en photo des femmes comme Kate Moss, nue sur un cheval, ou Tilda Swinton, couverte d'une peau. Face à elles, je suis en mode "caresse". J'ai aussi beaucoup aimé photographier Robert Pattinson pour Dior, sous une lumière crue. Il ressemble à un portrait du peintre Paul Cadmus exposé au Brooklyn Museum de New York... Même cheveux bruns, même regard bleu... Rien de lui ne rime avec "joli".

Nan Goldin and Goldin FerraraNan Abel Abel Ferrara met in Venice for a unique artistic collaboration. For the occasion, the director made a scathing interview with the photographer. Exclusively.
... Yet you're obsessed with aesthetics, fashion I said "esthétisant" not aesthetic! I loved taking pictures of women like Kate Moss naked on a horse, or Tilda Swinton, covered with skin. Facing them, I am fashion "caress". I also enjoyed photographing Robert Pattinson for Dior, in a harsh light. It looks like a portrait of the painter Paul Cadmus exposed to the Brooklyn Museum in New York ... Even brown hair, same blue eyes ... Nothing of him that rhyme with "pretty".

Dior: The Legendary Images: Great Photographers and Dior
Reaching beyond the intimate setting of the fashion show, the photographer paints a portrait of haute couture that takes the couturier’s intention to enchant the public and elevates it to the level of the sublime. The great names in photography, the mythical photos that have constructed Dior’s image, and the emblematic subjects of the house’s iconography—whether they are dreams of a faraway place or captured in the vast open-sky “studios” of Paris or Versailles—are all evoked in this vast panorama that takes us through more than sixty years in the history of fashion photography.
Published to accompany the Dior and Fashion Photography exhibition presented at the Musée Christian Dior in Granville, France, this lavish volume presents a wealth of gorgeous photographs that bring the character of the couturier’s dresses to life, with each photographer interpreting them in his or her unique style. Legendary contributors include Horst P. Horst, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Cecil Beaton, Norman Parkinson, Henry Clarke, William Klein, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Sarah Moon, Paolo Roversi, Nick Knight, Ines Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Tim Walker, Willy Vanderperre, Patrick Demarchelier, and many more. Stunning, glamorous, and iconic, Dior and Fashion Photography exemplifies how the haute couture house transcended fashion to enter the realm of legend.
