Elfie Semotan
Bok av Monika Faber
This compact, elegantly produced photobook compiles Elfie Semotan's (born 1941) Polaroids of "stand-ins"--people who double for supermodels in preparatory shots for fashion photoshoots. Without the obligation to pose or command the camera, these stand-ins generally express low-key moods at odds with the occasion, from boredom to melancholy.
