Impersonation

There are many opportunities for photographers to shoot product; magazines constantly promote everything from accessories to beauty, often in a simple, straightforward manner. When still life product work is given a twist, then, it stands out from the rest. Bela Borsodi, based out of Paris, does countless accessories editorials for magazines from Details to WAD to Elle. His signature is giving a quality of movement or life to inanimate objects, often incorporating cartoon or computer-generated figures. His editorials for mens' magazines often objectify the female figure, reducing it to a voluptuous outline or a hanger for accessories, which I can't stand. His skill with technology and use of innovative displays, however, make him worth a mention, as you can see for yourself.
