Summary:
Fashion
photography's golden age and the wild genius, ego, passion, and antics of the men (and a few women) behind the camera.
Fashion
photographers and the models they made famous were pop culture royalty. From the postwar covers of Vogue to the triumph of the digital image, the
fashion
photographer sold not only clothes but ideals of beauty and visions of perfect lives. Even when they succumbed to temptation and excess - and did they ever - the very few photographers who rose to the top were artists, above all. The lives, hang-ups, and artistic triumphs of more than a dozen of
fashion
photography's greatest visionaries: Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Melvin Sokolsky, Bert Stern, David Bailey, Bill King, Deborah Turbeville, Helmut Newton, Gilles Bensimon, Bruce Weber, Steven Meisel, Corinne Day, Bob and Terry Richardson, and more. From Avedon's haute couture fantasies and telling portraits to Weber's sensual, intimate, and heroic slices of life, and from Bob Richardson's provocations to his son Terry's transgressions, the revolutionary creative processes and fraught private passions of these visionary magicians.
Fashion
photography from the late 1940s to today, chronicling the fierce rivalries between photographers,
fashion
editors, and publishers like Condé Nast and Hearst, weaving together candid interviews, never-before-told insider anecdotes and insights born of his three decades of front-row and backstage reporting on modern
fashion
. An unprecedented look at an eccentric and seductive profession and the men and women who practice it on the treacherous shifting sands of pop and
fashion
culture, and the rewards and cost, both terribly high, of translating an artist's vision of beauty for an often cold and cruel commercial reality.
