PHILIP LORCA DICORCIA

PORTRAITS STUDY





PHILIP LORCA DICORCIA



Philip Lorca Dicorcia has been particularly known for his elaborative and aesthetically pleasing cinematic, documentary styled photographs. Dicorcia delves into the insignificant moments  and what may be the most ordinary to others, triggering the psychology of emotions that makes us question what happens next. where does it go from here? 

Dicorcia challenges the identity of individuals, much like Carrie Mae Weems who share similarities in work. Both paint a narrative mixture of truth and fiction which dramatises  the set scene and creates an accurate representation of life today. I like his pieces because they've been referred to  as documentary photography with the fictional world of cinema and advertising which has powerful meanings of reality and desire combined with fantasy. What I like most is all the subjects display accidental poses or unintentional expressionless faces which distorts them from the world around them adding to the appeal of a theatrical touch.
