SCHOOL PORTRAIT’
Editorial and portrait photographer Jaimy Gail manipulates and alters reality to participate in social discussions and abrasively communicate.
“With drawing you can draw everything you want, but if you add something strange in a photograph you are able to change reality”.
I’m not really selling anything. I’m rather raising a lot more questions with my images than giving any answers. Although it can be a bit abrasive, I try not to be provocative.”
It’s very hard to be subjective towards your own work, but if I had to say, I feel my work always carries the feeling of confusion that goes along with the opposite; a very recognisable imagery. On the one hand you look at an image that feels familiar, it has an old-fashioned style of light, setting and pose that refers to a classical home situation but within that something strange is happening that turns the complete image upside down. I hope the viewer has to look twice or just a bit longer then we normally tend to do in this age of overwhelming amounts of imagery.
For almost a century, schools around the world have been the scene of massacres with dozens of victims. Especially in the United States but not only. The United States is the country that has the highest number of attacks with firearms that have occurred within schools and the one where the debate on weapons and security between schools has become more heated.
In less than a hundred years - and with an exponential increase in the last decades - more than 1200 people died in the USA during a school shooting: Colombine, Parkland and Sandy Hook are only the most famous, among the mass murder in the American schools, often done by students or ex students.

‘MOTHER’ 👵🏼
A personal project by Judy Olausen. She described her book as “…a vision of the Eisenhower era mother, eager to please, ready to serve and blissfully sweeping the unmentionable under the rug.” It is also a loving tribute to her mother, Vivian, who modeled for the images. Olausen described her mother as part of “…a forgotten generation of women who put their kids and husbands before their own needs and hovered in the background, like furniture.” The iconic image “Mother as Coffee Table” conveys this perfectly.
Each element in these carefully rendered compositions provides both overt and subliminal messages about the complex and often contradictory roles of the American housewife during this period.
In the face of the invisibility of the coronavirus, declared a global pandemic, we all visibly suffer its physical and psychological consequences due to isolation, social distancing, the closure of schools and activities and economic vulnerability. A blockade that has lasted for days and will last indefinitely. We are required to stay at home as much as possible because we have a safe place, a refuge that keeps us "out of danger" of infection by an "invisible monster" that has caught us unprepared. But can home be a safe place for everyone?
