BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In her series Modern Portraits, Parisian photographer Emmanuelle Descraques puts young models in roles where they embody retro-styles beyond their years. She grasps the aesthetic of her mentor, Kourtney Roy, finding inspiration in the colouring and enraptured expressions. Just like Roy’s photographs, Descraques’ portraits a modern face to styles from the past: adolescence meets nostalgia. At the same time, both photographers seek meaning in the zeitgeist by capturing a specific outlook on life along with its prevailing views, which they interweave with divergent threads from fashion history.

Descraques takes it a step further and explores the space between documentary photography – as seen in Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra’s raw portraits of regular people isolated from their surroundings – and the highly-modern, aesthetic production found in fashion photography. At the same time, her striking portraits bring a well-known but nearly forgotten feeling back to the surface.
