. They are women who emanate a combination of strength and vulnerability; playfulness and sincerity. , Marie is drawn to subjects at a"transitional age", capturing the liminal space many young people find themselves in. These photographs strike a delicate balance between self-aware sitters and candid documentary subjects. So when a friend of many years found herself at an 'in-between' point in her life last year, Marie felt compelled to capture it.
These images are a love letter to Gigi herself, as well as a tribute to their relationship and an uncomplicated musing on the changes that time brings."Gigi can be really intimate with people, but she doesn't always want to talk about her feelings," Marie says."So the project was instead of talking. It was a different [kind of] discussion."
The work's physical form is intended to emulate an old box of photographs that you forgot about but cherish when you happen across them years later; moments that feel unremarkable when the shutter clicks but become important reminders of eras gone by.was a core influence on the early stages of Marie's practice, and similar themes of memory, intimacy and loved ones have lingered in her mind."I'm quite attached to powerful objects, souvenirs, nostalgia," she says.
Having spent much of her youth with her father and brother, Marie feels her love for the female form was born out of"curiosity". Drawing was the first medium she worked in: namely nudes, anatomy, and eventually fashion. Later, she took up photography atCamberwell College of Arts, where her drawings seamlessly informed her photographs. It was a time when conversations about the female gaze were beginning to burgeon in photography.
What's unique about Marie's approach in both personal and commercial fashion work is her refrain from directing, or even really speaking at all, during shoots. Sometimes it's"awkward," she laughs, but it's a process she trusts -- and she asks her subjects to do the same. With Gigi, all the trust she needed had been built a long time ago."I've known Gigi since I was like 10 years old," she adds. She was always in front of me.
