OFTEN DEPICTING the photographers themselves, the exhibited works ‘deconstruct the image-making process and lay bare the basic principles of the fashion photograph, its artificiality and the notion of “perfect beauty”, finding both comedy and poetry in the set-up of the studio’.
Exhibited photographers: Grégoire Alexandre, Richard Avedon, Terence Donovan, Steven Klein, William Klein, Nick Knight, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Saul Leiter, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Norman Parkinson, Harri Peccinotti, Irving Penn, John Rawlings, Bob Richardson, Melvin Sokolsky, Bert Stern, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Jonathan de Villiers and Tim Walker.
