Me Eyes Closed (Self Portrait) \u00a9 Laura Stevens<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nOn occasion we break away from the classic Fashion Photographer mould to feature those with a more eclectic talent a “m\u00e9lange” of several photographic perspectives, a hybrid of sorts. Laura Stevens<\/strong><\/a> is one of those rare breeds that exist outside of the proverbial pedestrian box. Not only is Laura extremely talented, she also carries herself with a dignity and humility often lost in todays “I am Famous for being Well Known” mentality. How refreshingly down to earth and honest for a change. Laura deserves all of the accolades she has been receiving as of late and we wish her only the very best in all of her endeavors. Laura Stevens was\u00a0honoured to be one of the top five winners of the\u00a0LensCulture Emerging Talents Award 2014<\/span>\u00a0for her series\u00a0Another November<\/span><\/a>. Her\u00a0work was selected by juror\u00a0Olivier Laurent from TIME Lightbox.<\/span>

\nFollowing the ending of a significant relationship in my life, an undoing began. Whilst adjusting to being a single woman, I started to create a photographic narrative based on the experience of losing love; directing other women to portray the gradual emotional and circumstantial stages, along the well-trodden track of the broken-hearted.<\/span>
\nBy constructing images of the evolving chapters, I was allowed a vantage point from which to view the changes occurring in me, from feelings of pain, confusion and loneliness towards the reconstruction of my identity as an individual.<\/span>
\nThe series of staged performances by different women, of whom are friends or those I had been drawn to from the street, are enacted to show an intimate moment of adjustment. They are seen isolated, surrounded by textures, colour and empty spaces in a room of their home in Paris.<\/span>
\nAnother November is situated in a deliberately nostalgic present where memories are constructed and irrevocably discolour, looking back to a past not yet acquainted with loss. Yet, it is a reminder that time, the arranger of all things, moves only in one direction.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
