VALERIE PHILLIPS – AMBER IS FOR CAUTION

Posted on 2010-02-22

“Amber is for caution” is a new project from photographer Valerie Phillips which attempts to bring streetstyle photography into the world of fine art.
Centred around former model Amber, whom Phillips first met when she came to a casting four years ago and quickly captivated the photographer.
“I met Amber when she was 15. She came to my studio for a casting. She was quiet and feisty at the same time, and kind of bratty and fascinating. I loved her slow-paced, drawn out Kentucky sentences, so perfectly out of place in East London. And I really liked how she didn’t seem to give a shit.
She was just Amber and that was good enough……”

Exhibition runs through to April 8th, 2010.
