Audrey Corregan was one of the selected photographers in this year’s Hyères Festival International de Mode & de Photographie for her series entitled Obviously.

A little about Corregan and her work, from the Hyères Festival website:

She began her studies in photography at the Vevey School before finishing at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. For this year’s Hyères Festival, Audrey Corregan presents a series of portraits entitled “Obviously”. Imposing creatures seen from the back expose their shuddering feathers with the utmost indifference to the presence of the spectator. They seem to breathe softly, captivated by something that we cannot perceive.

Her images are reminiscent of Marjaana Kella’s Reversed Portraits series:

    Is it just me, or are those photographs by Audrey Corregan identical to Roni Horn’s “bird” photos?

    what about Marjaana Kella’s work being very reminiscent of Gerhard Richter’s work?

    It’s a shame, Corregan and Horn’s works are too similar to be a pure chance…

    It’s a shame, Corregan and Horn’s works are too similar to be a pure chance. There will be some copyright problems I guess..
