“Un-shrouded” by Sol Lang
It would be hard to list all the influences I’ve had in my life that can be held responsible for the artistic expression I state today. Having been raised in a matriarchal home environment is not the least of these influences. But it would be unreasonable not to place much of this responsibility on the Internet as well, with all of its converging media and its democratisation of everything, including art.
As a member of Flickr, an international, multi-cultural on-line community, much of which is made up of artists, my work is being virtually exhibited daily.
With over a million views in the span of one year, my photographic expression has been commented upon, censored, liked and disliked, stolen, copyright infringed upon, revered and insulted. My right of expression has been revoked more than once and I have been politically attacked. Reactions abound.
The work as it stands today is a commentary on ongoing concerns of womankind in her ceaseless struggle to shed her stereotypical, objectified image of femininity as it has been depicted by the media-culture and western society.
I present my images with the skills and craft of a fashion photographer, but without the entourage of a large production crew. Working alone with the models, these are intimate sessions without the help of assistants, stylists or hair and make-up artists. They are collaborations whereby I create visual, thought-provoking statements of beauty, irony, sadness, erotica and humor. Always achieving powerful images of very high production value. sollang.com
