Sharna Osborne
Sharna Osborne is a New Zealand fashion photographer and filmmaker based in London.

I found out about this photographer when I saw her lookbook for Acne Studio 23SS, Sharna Osborne's work explores the intersection between moving image, fashion and art. It's easy to see that she has a very personal approach to her work. The beauty of her images is that when one first sees them, one can guess that they were taken by Sharna Osborne, whose photographs at first glance appear to be cut-outs from 1980s and 1990s videotapes. The low fidelity of the digital images and the uniqueness of his strong self has a weird psychedelic appeal to me. I assume that Osborne shoots her work on tape-based DV. She probably shot the moving images first and then took screenshots afterwards. She works in a collage style inspired by 80's and 90's style video imagery to create her unique lo-fi aesthetic. Her work has a vintage flavour, but with a slightly surrealistic feel to it. It's very interesting to me that she creates in this way. That's why I consider Osborne to be my guide on the path of innovation in fashion photography.
