Denise Prince is an American artist concentrating in photography and film. She has photographed for publications and exhibited internationally.
Educated at CalArts, in Los Angeles, Prince attempts to make explicit fantasy and the real. Her photographic series Captivating Not Captive brings the fullness of a real life into the context of fashion photography. We push away so much of who we really are, what a life really is. We want so badly to believe life is something it is not that we begin to believe our pretends are real. I find that the more honestly we recognize the real versus the imaginary body, the more playful and spontaneous we are able to be. My models and I are hoping, as one said, to “Change the way people see beauty.”
