On the most superficial level, Miles Aldridge\u2019s<\/a> photographs are nothing if not stylish: the retro, voluminous hairdos and chic polka-dotted dresses; his characteristic neon color palette; and the overtly sexy, almost cinematic scenes he creates are just so damn cool<\/em>, like James-Dean-smoking-a-cigarette cool. On a deeper level, the icy, plastic faces of his models tell a story of the female psyche as a prisoner of societal pressures and norms. Aldridge forces his viewer to objectify his models as though they are trapped in the cage of their domestic roles like animals at the zoo; but the unnervingly wry humor of his scenes induces sympathy in the viewer for his jaded subjects, providing a process of catharsis rather than the simple comfort of aesthetic absorption.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We chatted\u00a0with Miles<\/a> about his style, his creative process, and some personal details of his daily life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
