Someone aphorised the following to Cesar, who passed it on to me in turn:There are three types of fashion photographers: the ones about the clothes, the ones about the girls, and the ones about the photograph.
The greats--Avedon, Penn, Meisel to name a few (but aren't there only a few?)....they were about all three.
Ever since I heard this, I can't help but sift through my mental rolodex and image gallery and sort all the photographers I know in my mind. It becomes instantly apparent who belongs in which category. Thoughts?
Demarchelier-the clothes, Juergen-the photograph, Testino-the girls, etc....
Discuss! Comment! I want to know!
