Perry Ogden

This week's guest is Perry Ogden, the visionary fashion photographer whose work has left an indelible mark on the world of fashion and beyond. His photographs have appeared in countless magazines worldwide including Italian Vogue, Luomo Vogue, British Vogue, W, the Face and Arena, and he has shot advertising campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Chloe and Calvin Klein. Renowned for his unique ability to capture the essence of his subjects, Perry's photographs tell compelling stories that transcend the superficiality often associated with fashion imagery.  In the unlikely case that our fondness and awe for Perry's work didn't translate through the sound waves, we urge you to take a look at some of his commercial, but in particular more personal projects for yourself - from his PONY KIDS photography series, his book PADDY & LIAM, to his feature film Pavee Lackeen, Perry captures an intriguing essence of identity and beauty in the ordinary and somehow becoming extraordinary.  And what of his Desert Island choices and the man himself?! just as perhaps his dealings with his subjects in his work, his choices were thoughtful and considered, stories of hope in sometimes, unexpected places, and beautiful connections with people. It seems as though Perry is all about people and place, but with a real sense of respect for people in place.  Join us, as we head down memory lane with Perry Ogden, through the medium of clothes and the stories they tell.   This is the Desert Island Dress podcast.
