Portraits Of Obama: Media, Fidelity, and the 44th President

Using Obama as a prism, this essay examines the culture of American mass media, examining the fidelity of news content amongst the ever-growing, ever-fragmenting, modern media landscape. It investigates the audience’s active engagement in the construction of their relationship to reality, the flawed nature of newsmakers and their perceptions of the world, and offers an alternative narrative approach to the construction of the self.

PROJECT SUMMARY :

Karin+Raoul is an art and lifestyle magazine. It is a space for the cultivation of the personal, the mysterious, the sexy. K+R serves up sensual and adventurous quality fashion, as well as documentary and portrait photography/video. It is a place where photographers from all over the world can connect.

I was asked to be the Art Director for several editorial spreads, with the goal of amplifying the tone and narrative of the photography being used. It became an experiment in texture and typography.
