From the acclaimed eye of international star
fetish photographer, Lolita, comes a double feature of selected
works from two of Lolita's most popular series, "Candyland"
and "Catgirls," making their South Bay debut showing
at Flazh!Alley Studio in San Pedro.
The mysterious Lolita was born in Bogotá, Columbia to
a German father and an English mother, with deep Central and
South American roots, who moved young Lolita to Germany. Over
the next 15 years Lolita spent extensive time on both sides
of the Atlantic. Berlin, Germany and suburban New Jersey created
a dichotomy that was to be the driving force behind Lolita's
work.
Lolita's career started with shooting photos on a stolen Olympus
camera at age 16 which inspired Lolita to go legit and continue
serious training at Brooks School in North Andover, MA, Skidmore
College, Saratoga Springs, New York, the University of Arizona
and Santa Monica College.
Masterfully utilizing the techniques of brilliant, hard edged,
saturated color with the softness of high key lighting and the
playfulness of Lolita's models' poses, Lolita combines and transforms
the styles of two 20th Century Masters, Helmut Newton and David
Le Chappel to create the distinctive, "Lolita Look"
firmly established by Lolita's years of shooting glamour bondage
photography.
