Breznatron Studios Website

Brian Bresnahan is the owner-operator of Breznatron Studios, a full service commercial and fine art photography company located on the sixth floor of Midway Studios in the Fort Point Neighborhood of Boston, MA. Brian Bresnahan’s background and continuing interest in the motion film industry, in which directors of photography are responsible for capturing a wide range of subject matter (including architecture, nature, people and products), has inspired him to continue practicing a wide array of photographic genres. This multi-discipline approach to photography inspires and improves Brian’s capability to provide imagery that not only achieves each client’s desired vision, but that also transcends that vision so as to achieve a more universal look and appeal.

Fashion in our Likeness

Mannequin Fashion            mannequin-1987.jpg
Though a mannequin is manufactured in likeness to humanity, it is humanity that manufactures itself in likeness to it.  

We look toward the mannequin for guidance- for information as to how we should look, feel and act.  Never mind that a mannequin has no brain (nor, often times, a head).

Mannequins exist in isolation.  There is no meaningful intimacy between them, each other and ourselves.  Perhaps that’s why they appear so apathetically melodramatic- they are begging for attention.  Yet, this is considered fashionable and is, therfore, socially desirable.

It is socially desirable to identify ourselves with mannequins- to become mannequins- without brains, or personality- isolated from all else, because it ‘looks good.”
