Everyday I learn something new in fashion - it is an industry of intricacy, and creativity. Encompassing skillful trades, and fresh ideas. You could almost describe it as a living thing... constantly evolving into something new. Through the generations, designers have aimed to provide wearable pieces of art, and share their vision in physical form. A fluctuating task, but a task worth accomplishing. While fashion designers make waves on fabric, fashion photographers approach coincidental art through a lens - but surely it's not that simple. We're entering an aptitude of collective senses, and a trade that has been around since the 1830s.
Fashion photography has altered its abilities in numerous ways - technology and standards were being overhauled... the need for stationary models and rigid forms became an afterthought. The art of picture-taking challenged its handler to grow with its widespread public, embracing movement and outdoor backdrops. "My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph" ~ Richard Avedon. This quote by Avedon is powerful - you hear the passion and personal responsibility to his craft.
