Internationally acclaimed Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf delivers a strong emotional impact with his highly stylized mode of image-making. On the occasion of his fiftieth birthday, the artist turned his lens on himself, creating a series of illustrative self-portraits to mark the occasion. With self-explanatory titles, the works in the Self Portrait—50 Years Old series depict how the artist looks now, how he wishes he looked now and forecasts how he will look in the future. Olaf speaks not only to his own aging but to our culture's obsession with youth and beauty and the prevalent use of post-production techniques like Photoshop, particularly in the world of fashion photography to create unrealistic notions and expectations of those very things.
