Instagram selection #209

September has always been about going back to school. In this time of year, the classical themes of photography seem to make a comeback as well. Cinema, femininity, or fashion still inspire the talented photographer of this Instagram selection #209. A mysterious yet captivating collection.

In his images, Arnaud Ele combines origins and questions the notion of identity. The Swiss-Cameroonian photographer, mostly inspired by fashion, also uses his film knowledge to compose his visual identity. A series of pictures combining codes without compromising the artist’s integrity.

Anayancy Gonzalez’s universe seem to combine modern codes and images borrowed from our collective imaginary. Among her bling portraits and her gleaming chromes, she also plays with stereotyped representations of a youth brought up by the glazed paper of fashion and American TV shows.

We hardly know anything about the artist posting under the pseudonym of @theboywhocriedwulf. But his images show a mastery of styles. From minimalism to cinematic references, his pictures act as tales, with a preference for the sad clown figure.

@shannontomasik

Shannon Tomasik, an artist based in Michigan, sublimates the female body. Whether in colours or in black and white, she builds delicate and disturbing settings. Either hidden or right in front of the camera, her models always seem to question the notion of sensuality.
