Sarah Baley

Tuesday, May 12, 2009

Sarah Baley is a fascinating photographer with exquisite skills. Through a run of photos Baley showcases sexuality and gender definitions. Her recent show "BOIS" held in New York, concentrated on the these issues as well as urban landscapes in their state of "rot" being re-developed. Her work has been seen in issues of Velvet Park. Also, the Brooklyn Museum is acquiring some of her work as well for their permanent collection.




What I find most alluring about Bailey as photographer and an artist is that she continues to use film instead of digital. Her prints are darkroom oriented which gives her images a brilliant amount of extra character. Baley has a way with telling a story, finding life and portraying that life within her shots. Glorified and delightful to the eye, Sarah Baley has become a new favorite of mine. I can't wait to see one of her shows in the future!

Check out some of Sarah's work at Collette Blanchard Gallery, or Sarah's personal website! Also in the video bleow Sarah Baley shows us some of her prints for the "BOIS" show, and how she became founded in Brooklyn! Check it out!
