While browsing through the Dazed and Confused web pages I found Hugh Lippe, born and raised in Texas, Hugh relocated to the East Coast in pursuit of an art education. He has had numerous exhibits including his most recent solo show, “The Dirt Under My Nails”, at Rare Gallery in New York. Having been influenced by the glossies at a young age he has turned his attention to that of the editorial world. Hugh lives and works out of New York City. His most recent shoot with Dazed's fashion director Karen Langley, is a black and white story for the current issue of Dazed.
"It was very fast furious once the girls actually got in front of the camera, achieving the sombre tone came naturally to these young girls, many of whom all were neck deep in their first season of the notoriously and rigorous NYC fashion week. Not only were they wearied and worn, but they literally melted in the soft light as their worlds became turned inside out", Lippe said of the shoot.
When I looked through his portfolios on his websites I found several images which I really liked, above are a selection of my favourites. His raw edgy portraits have a snapshot feel and I like how he uses only new faces and unknown models, giving his portraits the room to be deconstructed without the connotations of using well known models or celebrities.
