From Terry Richardson’s decrepit take on glorious to David Bailey’s transparent portraits and Bryan Adam’s voluptuous scenes, conform photography has prolonged been dominated by group and a masculine perspective.


But for Dutch former model, Viviane Sassen, now 41, pacifist posing wasn’t enough. Fed adult with ‘the masculine gaze’, she got behind a camera herself and has never looked back.


Since her 1992 epiphany, Sassen has worked with everybody from Missoni to Miu Miu and is now a theme of a overwhelming retrospective starting this month during a National Portrait Gallery of Scotland.

‘I was ill and sleepy of a masculine gaze,’ explained Sassen in an talk with The Scotsman. ‘I found that photographers would design me and other women in a not-so-interesting way.


‘It was one-dimensional, so we wanted to examination with opposite ways of display a bare womanlike body.’



Sassen’s possess work sits half proceed between conform and excellent art, with most of it verging on a surreal, faces confused and a physique shown as sculpture.


Her artistic proceed to photography becomes transparent as we rivet with a images enclosed in a exhibition, that focuses on one of her passions – a womanlike nude.


Among a works on uncover are early images from Nudes: A Journey, a array creatively done for independent

magazines such as Purple and Dazed Confused, in that the

photographs resemble a record of opening art.

Another array to underline is Roxane, a set of 36 portraits of Roxane Danset, a French fashion

stylist, that try a operation of styles from a amorous to a surreal.

‘Sometimes if we glow a really immature girl, there’s not that most life experience, and we like to make cinema that amour or warn me.


‘I’ve photographed Roxane a few times over a few years as a partnership between us. we find her celebrity super intriguing and she looks really amazing, like a film star from a Twenties.


‘She’s an interesting, clever character.’ The same could be pronounced for Sassen herself.

Pretty bungled stuff. Got her gigs by her modelling contacts. This is pristine advertorial (very badly created advertorial). Not a singular famous or iconic picture to be seen – “changed a face of fashion”? Drivel!
