Presented by Capricious
In Annabelle, Annabelle women stand transfixed in severe everyday landscapes, connected to the world by the objects surrounding them. Each frame is carefully constructed but what lies just beyond is uncertain, perhaps threatening and ultimately left for wonder. These women, with strength and wisdom in the depth of their age, stand boldly and carefully alone, and offer us the opportunity to create stories about life and death, power and vulnerability, magnificence and uncertainty.

Capricious Presents is a roving curatorial project and an extension of the former Capricious Space. It is also the newest offshoot of Capricious Magazine and Publishing. Founded by artist Sophie Mörner in 2004, Capricious is dedicated to showcasing emerging fine art photography. Its contributors and subject matter span the globe. And while constant change is a primary Capricious trait, there are definite common visual threads running throughout its history. Capricious has an affinity for things like animals, androgyny, opposition, reclaimed life, lust, natural as well as urban life, intimacy, revolution and nostalgia. Hanna Liden, Ryan McGinley, Esther Teichmann, Nick Haymes, Olaf Breuning, Melanie Bonajo and Skye Parrott are just a few of the dozens of photographers whose early work has been promoted by Capricious. As a group of projects and publications, Capricious occupies a rare and whimsical space between commercial and fashion photography; it operates as both a tool for discovering new talent and as an artists’ oasis.
