"Brianna Capozzi has sent me a list of what fascinates her as an artist. It reads, "New Yorkers, the East coast, the West coast, animations, blondes, things that shine, the colour pink, strong muscles, good hair, visible veins, skin showing, noses, teeth." She elaborates, "Women and everything that makes up being one: the energy, the demeanour, the style, the way their bodies move, their muscles, their faces, their noses, their hair and their secrets." Her new book, Womanizer (published by Rizzoli), is permeated with these obsessions. Bringing together over ten years of glorious portraits and fashion editorials by the inimitable photographer, every page is a testament to the allure of women and the culture and artefacts of womanhood. "This book means so much to me. It's a compilation of over a decade of my favourite images. The throughline between each image and woman is the charged, humorous energy that makes up a large part of my practice as a photographer," she explains.

"Women are so complex and powerful. We have the ability to do so much and be so grand. In my eyes, women really rule the world in all aspects of life and creativity." Capozzi brings an innovative, improvisational spirit to many of her shoots. While they are intricately moodboarded and conceived in advance with her longtime collaborator Haley Wollens, she's agile - prepared to whip off her own bra to use as an accessory, or nip to goodwill shops and delis for props, taping and sewing bespoke accessories, street casting, breaking into abandoned properties to find the right location, or enlisting her boyfriend, family and neighbours as extras wherever required." -- DAZED & CONFUSED.
