From Vogue glamour to avant-garde art scene to wartime grit: Lee Miller’s journey was nothing short of extraordinary.
Photographers I Love: Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus transformed photography by turning her lens toward the downtrodden and forgotten, favoring “freaks” over the polite society into which she was born.
Photographers I Love: David LaChapelle
David LaChapelle’s over-the-top images blend art, fashion, pop culture and representation – with a good dose of sex and humor thrown into it!
Photographers I Love: Seydou Keita
I love how Seydou Keita’s images use the formality of 19th century bourgeoisie portraiture in an unmistakably African setting.
Photographers I Love: Sebastião Salgado
Salgado brought his understanding of economics and how the world works to his assignments.
Photographers I Love: Nick Knight
Nick Knight’s photography mixes both punk and old-world elegance. He’s the Alexander McQueen of photography (or maybe Alexander McQueen was the Nick Knight of fashion?).
Photographers I Love: Nadav Kander
I remember vividly when I first saw Nadav Kander’s work: I was working in an ad agency when his agent came to show us his portfolio.
Photographers I Love: Javier Vallhonrat
I love photographer Javier Vallhonrat’s approach to color – it’s very painterly and makes me think of Impressionism.
Photographers I Love: Nan Goldin
Nan Goldin’s images show hardship, violence and pain. But they also, more importantly, show life.
Photographers I Love: Jeanloup Sieff
Photographer Jean-Loup Sieff captured the who’s who of fashionable Paris (and years later, me!).
