special edition: miami photographers
Feb 2010
Advertising and fine art photographer Jorge Parra has put together a fusion of fashion and fine art images using a collection of couture dresses made by artist Luis Valenzuela from recycled materials.
The dresses were exhibited at the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery, Miami, in January in homage of artists Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, Frank Gehry, Amsel Kiefer, Herzog and DeMeuron, and Kara Walker.
In tandem with model Valerie Carpender from Wilhenmina Models and several mannequins, and with styling by Gabriel Noda and Daniel Avalos, this unusual portfolio was produced by Jorge Parra and shot on the gallery premises.
