Women En Large & Familiar Men
Body Image Photography by Laurie Toby Edison
Says Laurie: Women En Large is my statement on the female nude, at least for now, and Familiar Men is my statement on the male nude. The five years I spent photographing men and talking with them transformed my vision of masculinity in this time and place, as well as how I perceive the body in my work.
“I show the disappeared, I make the invisible visible.”
Laurie Toby Edison is an internationally exhibited photographer, jeweler, and sculptor.
She works collaboratively with the people she photographs. She works with them to choose the locale, the poses, and the familiar items in the photographs.
She still remembers reading Allen Ginsberg’s Howl on the subway at 14.
