I’m Madi and I am a fashion and fine art photographer. My goal is to end up shooting for high end fashion magazines in creative ways and to always enjoy my own work.
The Reprise of Greek Mythology is a fine art project that aims to reinterpret classic Greek myths into fine art imagery, using fine art portraiture and still life photography.
This project challenged me to deepen my understanding of contextual research, narrative structures, and visual symbolism within my work. The series from left to right is a visual transition of light to darkness, conveying how within Greek Mythology how vast the narratives are within it.
This project is important to me as it has come to my attention that very few people have an understanding of how much Western literature and art today were created based on themes present within Greek Mythology and from poets during ancient Greece.
By reimagining these classic Greek myths throughout my work, I hope to encourage the viewers to be intrigued by these ancient poems and stories. My endeavour is that others will want to learn more about these ancient narratives and tales that helped shape the literature and art world we see today.
