Midweek Inspiration: Julia Chesky is the Modelizer
I constantly talk about how happy and proud I am to have so many incredibly inspiring and talented friends, and it only feels appropriate to share their creativity and talent with you, too.
I have known Julia Chesky since we were sophomores at Parsons, while she was studying in the photography department. Julia's main focus is fashion photography, and her love of window shopping has been meticulously documented with her now 3-years running online series, "Modelizing." Julia has made the art of window displays and visual merchandising into a kind of science, breaking down their formulaic creativity bit by bit. Her concept is obviously a winner; recently, knock-off window photographers keep popping up left and right - but few can compete in quality, consistency, and thoroughness.
If you want to see more of Julia's portfolio, I urge you to check out the highly controversial editorial she shot, "The Original Hipster." Whether you love or hate the concept (yes, it's ripe for debate on materialism and classism), it's hard to deny how beautiful her photography is.
AND! As a gift from Julia to me, and me to you: some exclusive, never-before-seen Modelizing shots. Check Julia's blog next week to see more.
