Sois Belle 2.2

DESCRIPTION Photography | Archival Pigment Print  Joyful and vibrant, humorous and sensual, the photographs of the Belgian artist Annelie Vandendael disrupt the glossy norms of fashion photography. Her works celebrate a playful self expression, including the imperfections. She’s titled her newest series of photographs Sois belle (be beautiful), a cheeky command to merge imaginatively with a larger than life environment. With her Hasselblad camera, the artist plays visual games of hide-and-seek with friends she’s photographed.
