Patrick Demarchelier – Photographer Partick Demarchelier is a French photographer born on the 21st of August 1943. He was born near Paris and moved to New York in 1975. That was when he started taking interest in fashion photography. He worked as a freelance photographer and in that way, got to know very famous photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Terry King and Jacque Guilbert. He soon started working for different magazines, such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. In 1992 he started shooting for bigger campaigns such as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Celine, TAG Heuer, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Lacoste, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren. He has also created many iconic images throughout the years of his career. In 2003 he said: “I have no formal qualifications, just the school of life. I learned most by just taking pictures; a lot of pictures. I’ve made plenty of mistakes, but it’s often from your mistakes that you learn the most. Being a photographer is like being an athlete. You must practice every day.

These black and white images are a series shot by Patrick Demarchelier. I love the intensity of the images, the facial expressions, the poses and how the ‘black and white’ effect really suits the darks and the lights of the images. Those images would not have the same effect if they were shot in colour.

Below are a few of the Vogue covers that Patrick Demarchelier has shot. I love the bright colours of the images and how the models look happy instead of having a neutral expression on their faces. The left one looks more like a summer-y image, also because of the props that he has used with the model, in this case the watermelon.

Albert Watson - Photographer Albert Watson is a fashion, celebrity and art photographer from Scotland. He has shot a lot of covers for the Vogue magazine (over 200) and over 40 covers for the Rolling Stone magazine. He has been called one of the 20 most influential photographers of all time, along with Richard Avedon and Irving Penn. Albert Watson studies graphic design in collage and after that he studies film and television at the Royal College of Art. He was also blind from one eye since birth so he also had to study photography as part of his curriculum. He has also produced a lot of photographs for different advertising campaigns such as Gap, Levi’s, Revlon and Chanel. Apart from that he has directed many adverts on television along with many Hollywood movie posters such as Kill Bill, Memoirs of a Geisha and The Da Vinci Code. Apart from all those different projects going on, he has also focused on developing his personal projects where he has photographed all his travels and interests. He has photographed placed from Morocco to Las Vegas and to Orkney Islands.

Irving Penn – Photographer Irving Penn was born on June 16, 1917 in Plainfield, New Jersey, to Harry Penn and Sonia Greenberg. In 1922, Irving Penn's younger brother, Arthur Penn, was born, who would go on to become a film director and producer. Irving Penn attended the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art (now the University of the Arts) from 1934 to 1938, where he studied drawing, painting, graphics, and industrial arts under Alexey Brodovitch. While still a student, Penn worked under Brodovitch at Harper's Bazaar, where several of Penn's drawings were published. Irving Penn worked for two years as a freelance designer and making his first amateur photographs before taking Brodovitch's position as the art director at Saks Fifth Avenue in 1940. Penn remained at Saks Fifth Avenue for a year before leaving to spend a year painting and taking photographs in Mexico and across the US. When Irving Penn returned to New York, Alexander Liberman offered him a position as an associate in the Vogue magazine Art Department, where Penn worked on layout before Liberman asked him to try his hand at photography for the magazine. Irving Penn photographed his first cover for Vogue magazine in 1943 and continued to work at the magazine throughout his career, shooting covers, portraits, still lifes, fashion, and photographic essays. In the 1950s, Penn founded his own studio in New York and began making advertising photographs. Over the years, Penn's list of clients grew to include General Foods, De Beers, Issey Miyake, and Clinique. Irving Penn died aged 92 on October 7, 2009 at his home in Manhattan. One of his unique things was that he used to bring in models in the studio and let them do what they were comfortable at. He used his artistic skills, vision and unconventional approach to take photographs of a variety of people such as writers, people from the music industry and art & drama. He took particular interest in his photos as printed objects, and the quality of their finish. He personally applied a 'platinum palladium' finish to each photo to give it a really bold and crisp appearance. Penn tries to send a clear message through his pictures, he tries to tell a story through the placing of the subject, by the way they're placed and where the focus lies on

Alex Chatelain – Photographer Alex Chatelain was a Vogue photographer that did a lot of work for the European editions of Vogue in the 70s and the 80s. Following are a few examples of his work:

Apart from the images that were issues in the Vogue magazine of him, he’s done a lot of other work. A few examples of that are below. I love how he has made the models pose in different ways. Bright colours have been used in his images along with very big eighties look dresses.

John Stember – Photographer John Stember is a London based photographer that started taking interest in photography since a very young age, which resulted in him opening his first studio when he was only 19 years old. He lived in New York for many years as a successful photographer that worked for Vogue, Glamour and other Conde Nast magazines.

Eric Boman – Photographer There is not a lot said about Eric Boman anywhere but I found out that he was originally from Sweden and worked in London, Paris and New York for Vogue, Marie-Vlaire, Yves Saint-Laurent, Vanity Fair, The World of Interiors and House &

Garden. His work was featured in many musicals such as Roxy Music’s Country Life in 1974, Bryan Ferry’s Another Time and Another Place also in 1974. Apart from fashion photography, Eric Boman has also taken interest in art-photography and still-lifes. Following are a few examples of his work: I have noticed that the models that he has used for his shoots all have a very similar bone structure and nose. An example of that are the two different issues below. Those are two different models but they look so much alike in a way. They have different eye colour but their face looks very much alike.

Terence Donovan – Photographer Terence Donovan was born on the 14th September in 1936 and died at the age of 60 in 1996. He was an English photographer and a film director. Fashion photography was what made him the most famous. He has also worked along with other very known photographers such as David Baily and Brian Duffy. In 1970 he started taking interest in directing movies. He worked for different fashion magazines as well such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue. He has directed over 3000 adverts on television. He directed films, adverts and also music videos during his time. He was so successful and still suffered from depression and ended his life himself. Below is one of the covers that he has shot for Vogue in the 80s.

Bruce Weber – Photographer Bruce Weber has worked for Vogue for over 30 years. He has taken a lot of road trips to take photographs from Florida to the English countryside with Mia Wasikowaska. Most of his photographs give a nice holiday feeling with beautiful locations and subjects. Bruce Weber has a wide range of different photographs. I love how he has thought about each image so much because they all look very different from each other and they all tell their own story to me. This one with the couple is a fashion shoot but somehow it is showing what is going on between the couple as well. The guy looks so protective about the girl and they also look sad for some reason as well. It looks like they are sitting on the edge of a ship or something because I can see the sea in the background. The location of this image makes the scene more dramatic as well.

The image on the right tells me that the girl is a horse rider because of her look and her hat. It looks like she is very happy with what she does. This image what taken for the Australian issue of the Vogue magazine.

Lorenz Zatecky – Photographer This is another Vogue photographer out of the 80s. she only appeared once for this photograph which I quite liked because there was a bit more detail of clothing and jewelry in it compared to quite a few other images issued in the 80s. in the 1980s, Lorenz has also shot some book covers such as the one blow on the right side. It was called ‘The new wave punk rock explosion’. I thought I’d just add that one as well even though it is not really fashion related. This is because I like the background of the image. I want to combine some graffiti images with my fashion images to see what the combination looks like.

Mike Reinhardt – Photographer Michael Reinhardt was born in 1938 on the 20th February in Los Angeles. He is mostly known as a fashion and reportage photographer that has worked for many fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and another magazine called Sports Illustrated.

Paolo Roversi – Photographer Paolo Roversi is a fashion photographer based in Paris. He was born in Ravenna and started taking interest in photography in his teen ages. He had a darkroom in his house where he started producing his own black and white images. He got in contact with a famous photographer of that time called Nevio Natali and he started spending time in his studio where he worked as an apprentice and also formed a very good friendship with the guy. Following is a statement that Paolo has made about his work: “My photography is more subtraction than addition. I always try to take off things. We all have a sort of mask of expression. You say goodbye, you smile, you are scared. I try to take all these masks away and little by little subtract until you have something pure left. A kind of abandon, a kind of absence. It looks like an absence, but in fact when there is this emptiness I think the interior beauty comes out. This is my technique.”

She is an American model which is currently working on a Calvin Klein campaign along with Maybeline make up brand.
