PhotoVogue Festival 2022: Five Projects That Redefine Fashion Photography
The PhotoVogue Festival took place at BASE in Milan from November 17 to 20, 2022, under the auspices of the PhotoVogue platform. It showcased exhibitions and discussions led by artists from around the globe. Alessia Glaviano, the Head of Global PhotoVogue, highlighted an 'erotic' interpretation of photographic language, aiming to ignite conversations about the 'Contradiction of overexposure.' A significant highlight was the inaugural Global Multimedia Open Call, which identified talents from 24 nations for the exhibition titled 'The Next Great Fashion Image Makers.' Featured works included Ashley Markle's 'Lonely Girl,' Bettina Pittaluga's 'Dohrek,' Kincső Bede's 'Three Colors I Know in This World,' Aart Verrips' 'Office Day,' and Elliot & Erick Jiménez's 'Entre Dos Mundos.' The festival underscored fashion photography's role in personal expression and social critique.
