ICP Screens Salome Ogenfuss' 'Role Models' on Fashion Week Photographers
The International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York will host a screening of 'Role Models', a film by ICP alumna Salome Ogenfuss. The documentary follows a group of photographers who gather outside fashion shows in New York and Paris to photograph models. Described as 'everyday photo habitués', these men are motivated by adoration and loneliness rather than money, seeking to capture transient interactions. The film explores longing within an image-saturated culture, portraying the photographers as 'birdwatchers of female beauty' and 'gleaners' collecting images at the margins of patronized culture. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Ogenfuss.
