Twee modellen met sigaret en geborduurde kleding en hoed van de Wiener Werkstätte 1920 - 1930

This photograph features two models with a cigarette wearing embroidered clothing and hats from the Wiener Werkstätte. I’m thinking about the anonymous artist, with their camera in hand, deciding exactly how they’re going to capture this moment. What do they want us to see? How can they make the most of the light and the subject to communicate an idea? The models are so cool in their matching outfits. I can imagine the artist thinking about how the details of the hats and clothing would translate in the photograph. What sort of atmosphere can be conveyed through careful attention to detail? There is a real skill in using the camera to show a moment in time, to communicate feeling, intention, and meaning through the lens. It's all part of the creative process, and I love how photographs like this can inspire artists and non-artists alike. Ultimately we are all in conversation with each other.
