Vice-Depicting Photography

Jamie Johnson Captures Naiveté in this Confessional Child Photo Se

— March 18, 2014 — Art & Design
Photographer Jamie Johnson captures the age old punishment of transcribing bad deeds on the chalkboard and captures it in her child photo series titled 'I Will Not...'

Each photograph depicts a child writing their specified vice on the board, yet the photographs are ironic because the children are usually dressed as the implication they are trying to avoid or holding their vice in the opposing hand while writing their promises.
These confessionals are centered around adult nature, and include habits such as drinking before 5 pm, smoking or dating actresses.

The series creates an interesting juxtaposition, because it taps into child-like innocence alongside grown-up reality. The rich sepia tones and gritty composition create a vintage feeling akin to olden days with a modernized concept.
Trend Themes
1. Childlike-irony Photography - Creating a series of child-like confessions in an adult setting can potentially disrupt the traditional form of photography.
2. Vintage-modern Composition - Blending the classic vintage tones with modern concepts provides a unique opportunity for photography creators to disrupt the industry.
3. Satirical Portrayal of Vices - Satirizing our habits through photography is a trend that can be further explored to disrupt how we depict and perceive our own destructive tendencies.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - This trend shows how photographers can innovate traditional portraiture to provide a unique twist to cliché photography styles.
2. Fine Arts - Fine artists can take inspiration from this series and disrupt traditional art forms by incorporating similar techniques and concepts in their work.
3. Marketing and Advertising - Employing a similar concept in marketing and advertising campaigns can disrupt traditional advertising campaigns and provide a fresh and engaging take on the industry.
