Alex Prager is a really cool contemporary American photographer. Her photographic style is really unique and unconventional due to her use of bright colours and over the top settings/subjects. A lot of her photos contain dark humourous themes, which are often inspired by true events. Many of her photos also incorporate clothing and objects from past decades, especially the 1960s. She cites Alfred Hitchcock as one of her biggest inspirations, saying that "[He] shows you dark and heavy subjects, but in an intense and beautiful way. You keep on looking, because you want to stay in his world. I take subjects that would be hard to look at if you showed them as they actually are, and I treat the, in a playful, soft-edged way." I think that she accomplishes this in a way that gives her work a beautiful, otherworldly quality Here is her website, and below are some of her pictures.
