Outside the studio, Sturman finds beauty
in large gears, coarse machinery and ancient
railway cranes. Such equipment, left behind
by the ever-increasing advancement of
technology, is the perfect subject to complete
his vision. In fact, Sturman insisted that “the
images taken outside of the studio drive my
endeavours inside the studio.”
Indoors, Sturman captures models in a
variety of unconventional poses, their forms
often overlapping until the ability to distinguish
one from the other becomes increasingly
difficult. It’s not the beauty of the model that’s
important in his images; it’s the shape created by
the body. Each pose invites endless possibilities
for layering and graphic manipulation.
