" Feel the fear and go for it!"
"Photography is the threshold from which I manifest my visual process and experience as a member of a subversive youth culture ubiquitous, but not exclusively dedicated to New York City. Gender, intimacy and livelihood are amongst the themes addressed in my work and are intended to inform and provoke" says Phillip Gutman. This 20 yrs.old artist and photographer has been living and schooling in NY for three and half years now. He is from Melbourne(Florida), and began his photographic interests somewhere is his teen years. "In my freshman year of high school I found a David LaChapelle book in a local bookshop. The tangible fantasies that existed in LaChapelle’s book inspired my stronger desire to make images, to sketch ideas and use my friends as subjects. Five years later, a different time and under different circumstances, I continue to make images out of sketches and photograph friends". In the beginning of this month he photographed me as I posed for artist Robert W. Richards...and it was very interesting to witness how much attention to details he gives in taking a photograph, making sure he follows the advice "it is about the process" by one of his most important mentors: Jack Doroshow aka Mothers Flawless Sabrina...the result was beautiful. Phillip has photographed night life personalities like Amanda Lepore, Sophia Lamar, Kenny Kenny, Jimmy James and Michael Gwaltney. In the Fall of '09 Gutman will finish his BFA at the School of Visual Arts. Phillipgutman.blogspot.com PhillipGutman@gmail.com (407)687-5464 |
