Lassry’s thoughtful analysis of “pictures” involves carefully-created studio portraits and still lifes, as well as altered found photos, which often draw upon conventions of advertising, fashion and product photography. Lassry’s conscious staging, his subtle interventions and his conceptual, sometimes theatrical, elaborations of the photographs are designed to refocus our attention on the content of images, and the complexity of what occurs within the frame. Some of his photographs are adorned with elements such as silk fabric that encase them, guiding viewers to engage with photographs in a more meaningful way.
