Dazed Digital – How did you go about the casting process for the portfolio?
Collier Schorr – We gathered a bunch of new faces and then I went through who would fit into the multi-character portfolio. With boys it is a lot easier but women seem to have expectations. I think the women we chose though, really understood that we were after a kind of performance not only in terms of gender but also of portraiture.
DD – What were you looking for in the models?
CS – Sexy always, but also a certain melancholic feeling that translated the delicate transition from youth to adulthood. I find the idea of representation so complicated, both in the idea the model’s character and also in the fact that the photographer is revealed in the fantasy chosen to explore.
DD – Androgyny plays a big part in this shoot, and your work in general. Where does that come from?
CS – Youth’s greatest achievement is that it’s still soft and undefined. Gender is something you hint at with clothes and hair, so fashion photography is the ideal place to play with it.
