Justine Tjallinks: pastpresent

Abstract

"This is the first book from rapidly rising photographer, Justine Tjallinks. It showcases her photography which has gained international recognition, thanks to a unique aesthetic that combines influences from different forms of art and design. PastPresent will influence and inspire the admiration from those with an interest in photography, fashion, art and socio-cultural studies. Justine combines the 'old' and the 'new' to create images that have a sense of nostalgia whilst the content and subjects are often firmly fixed in present day sensibilities. Taking inspiration from Dutch master painters for their use of light and color, this is juxtaposed with remarkable, contemporary faces and figures seen in modern clothing designs. This aesthetic combination means that Justine's reputation and work is growing quickly. Owing to this photographer's growing success, her work has been recently been taken on board by the Kahmann Gallery, and they plan to showcase her work in numerous fairs and art installations worldwide over the upcoming years."--Publisher's description.
