Represented Photographers Back
Skip Middleton
"Classic form with a cutting edge," is how Skip Middleton's work has been described. Strong posing and lighting combine to show both the physical and inner strengths of his subjects. Beginning as a high school newspaper photographer, and through subsequent exploration, Middleton still works to refine his technique. Many of the WPA photographers of the 1930's, particularly Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange, have an influence on Middleton's work in their use of light and surface to tell a story.
In the Studio, Middleton likes to use simple props and backgrounds to emphasize the play of light and shadow on the female form. When shooting outdoors, he often contrasts the smoothness of female form against the textures of man made and natural backgrounds.
Each image is signed, hand printed by the photographer himself and is limited to an edition of no more than ten. |
