“T
he Ombrage series goes beyond
mere appearance to bring out all
that the subject refuses to know or admit
of his nature and his personality. The
series also probes the impact produced
by a strong external event, capable of
questioning self-image and relationships
with others. This work, based on
appearance and mystery, aims to shed light
on the more or less conscious ambiguity of
human nature, the fragile balance between
good and evil.”
T
ransitioning from black to red,
Laffitte’s next series presents the
inherent beauty of red haired men and
women. The Rouille, or ‘Rust’ series,
will express the exquisite charm and
morphology of those attributed with
crimson tones in Laffitte’s trademark,
simplistic style. Soft, classic lighting
techniques are used to create her portraits
of perfection.
