FASHION PHOTOGRAPHERS:RICHARD AVEDON

Richard Avedon was born in New York on May 15, 1923, and he was one of the greatest fashion photographers.
He studied philosophy at Columbia University, during the Second World War he was assigned for two years at the photography industry for the US Navy, in 1944 he studied photography at NY's New School of Social Research. In 1945 he started working for Harper's Bazaar, 20 years later he began working for Vogue.
Avedon used wide-angle lenses, exaggerated angles and stroboscopic lights to capture unusual expressions and often dissociated from the faces of subjects, he showed models full of emotion, smiling, laughing, and, many times, in action in outdoor settings which was revolutionary at the time. In his early fashion work he chose unusual scenarios, such as circuses, zoos, NASA launch pads, or dumpers, encouraging models to move freely, so more natural images came out, instead of capturing models inside a strict frame, he photographed them while moving, in the street, or inside public places. After the 1950s, most of his works were in the studio, using a nearly white background so as to empty the image to deprive it of any reference.
 He was also a great scouter and creator of female icons, who left their mark in the world of fashion like models such as Dovima, Suzy Parker, Veruschka, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, Lauren Hutton. His advertising campaigns for Chanel, Dior, Versace were very famous, he also participate in two editions of the Pirelli Calendar.
 Through his keen convictions in politics and intense interests in subcultures, Avedon has become a photographer in service to a vision larger than fashion per se.
He dies in 2004. Avedon's work is held in the following permanent collections: Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris and many other museums and exhibitions around the world.

  Richard Avedon nasce a New York il 15 maggio 1923, è stato uno dei più grandi fotografi di moda. Studia filosofia alla Columbia Universuty, durante la seconda guerra mondiale viene assegnato per 2 anni al settore fotogr.fia per la Marina Mercantile statunitense, nel 1944 studia fotografia alla New School of Social Research di NY. Nel 1945 inizia la sua collaborazione con Harper's Bazaar, vent'anni dopo comincia la sua collaborazione anche per Vogue.
Famoso tanto per le sue fotografie di moda, quanto per i ritratti di celebrità, Avedon usava lenti a grandangolo, angolature esagerate e luci stroboscopie per catturare espressioni insolite e spesso dissociate dai volti dei soggetti. Nei suoi primi lavori di moda sceglieva scenari insoliti, come circhi, zoo, piste di lancio della Nasa o discariche, incoraggiando i modelli a muoversi liberamente:venivano fuori così immagini più naturali, diverse dai servizi di moda canonici. Dopo gli anni '50 la maggior parte dei suoi lavori avviene invece in studio, usa uno sfondo quasi sempre bianco in modo da da svuotare l'immagine per privarla di qualsiasi riferimento.
Ha scoperto e lanciato modelle come Dovima, Suzy Parker, Veruschka, Twiggy, Penelope Tree, Lauren Hutton.Famose le sue campagne pubblicitarie per Chanel, Dior, Versace. Partecipa a due edizioni del Calendario Pirelli. attraverso le sue acute convinzioni politiche e il suo grande interesse per le sottoculture, Avedon è stato un fotografo al servizio di una visione più ampia della moda in sé. Muore nel 2004 in seguito alle complicazioni seguite a un'emorragia cerebrale.
Le opere di Avedon arricchiscono le collezioni del Museum of Modern Art e Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York, del Centre Georges Pompidou di Parigi e di molti altri musei e esposizioni in tutto il mondo.

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHERS: ARTHUR ELGORT

Arthur Elgort was born in New York City in 1940. He studied painting at Hunter College. He realized that he would be too sociable for the solitary existence of a painter and decided to begin taking pictures. Soon after he made his 1971 debut in British Vogue. With one shoot and an iconic picture he created, not only a sensation but also a permanent place for him in the world of fashion photography.
Elgort has a strong predilection for the nuances of grey, that can be found in the portraits.
 The delightful capturer of the supermodel era, the American photographer launched an innovative approach to the medium with his photojournalistic-like snapshots that emphasized movement and the moment just as ballet that had always influenced him. The models that he chose were lively, wore less make-up.  His distinctive feature is immediacy, the way he seized the instant when the subject is moving.  The leitmotiv that connects all his portraits is the immediacy, given by the choice of a non-artificial lighting.  Taking his models outside into the real world, where the looks he was shooting would really be worn and put to the test, became a signature of his personal style.
 Arthur Elgort quickly became one of the best-known and most emulated photographers.
His long career has also given him the chance to work on many major ad campaigns with highly coveted high-end fashion houses and luxury brands.

 Arthur Elgort è nato a New York nel 1940. Ha studiato pittura presso l'Hunter College. Ma dopo aver realizzato che la vita solitaria del pittore non faceva per lui decide di iniziare a scattare foto. Poco dopo fa il suo debutto nel 1971 per British Vogue. Con i suoi scatti  crea, non solo una sensazione, ma si guadagna un posto permanente  nel mondo della fotografia di moda.
 Elgort ha una forte predilezione per le sfumature di grigio, che si possono trovare nei ritratti.
Nella fantastica era delle top model, il fotografo americano  lancia un approccio innovativo con le sue istantanee di stampo fotogiornalistico che  sottolineano il movimento e il momento giusto da catturare come per  il balletto da cui riceve una forte influenza. Le modelle che sceglie sono naturali, indossano poco make-up.  La sua caratteristica distintiva è l'immediatezza, il modo in cui ha colto l'istante in cui il soggetto è in movimento. Il filo conduttore che collega tutti i suoi ritratti è l'immediatezza, data dalla scelta di un'illuminazione non-artificiale. Portando i suoi modelli al di fuori nel mondo reale, dove gli abiti vengono realmente indossati,  diventa così una firma del suo stile personale.
Arthur  Elgort diventa  rapidamente uno dei fotografi più noti e più emulati. La sua lunga carriera gli ha  dato la possibilità di lavorare su molte campagne pubblicitarie importanti con case di moda di fascia alta e marchi di lusso.

NINETIES

The early 1990s saw a continuation of late 1980s fashion: excess, baroque, frills, gold, women wore denim button down shirts, leggings, drainpipe jeans, colored tights, bike shorts, and tartan skirts. Popular accessories included court shoes, cowboy boots, headscarves, leggings, and penny loafers.
In the late 1990s, saw a return to the minimalist fashion contrasted to the more elaborate and flashy trends of the 1980s. Additionally, fashion trends throughout the decade recycled styles from previous decades, notably the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Throughout the 1990s, supermodels dominated the fashion industry. The top models of the 1990s were Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Nadja Auermann, Christy Turlington, Kate Moss, Carla Bruni Helena Christensen, Claudia Schiffer, Karen Mulder, Nadège, Yasmeen Ghauri, Stephanie Seymour, Carolyn Murphy, Amber Valletta, Shalom Harlow.
Fashion shows for Chanel and Versace were the most spectacular.
