URBANITES

Street-photography, fashion advertising and romantic aesthetics merge in Magdalene Carmen's portraits of city (Melbourne) creatures caught mostly in their natural environment. Her aim: "To catch the subject unaware, tell particular stories. And if aware, the subject's theatre is effortless, not contrived. Like I was never there." Magdalene shoots with natural/available light in-studio or on location.

"WE PHOTOGRAPHERS DEAL IN THINGS THAT ARE CONTINUALLY VANISHING, AND WHEN THEY HAVE VANISHED THERE IS NO CONTRIVANCE ON EARTH CAN MAKE THEM COME BACK AGAIN. WE CANNOT DEVELOP AND PRINT A MEMORY." HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON
