Fashion Photography Next

Description

This vibrant book surveys outstandingly fresh and original fashion images by thirty-five emerging photographers from fourteen countries. From Axel Hoedt's bold graphic experimentation and fascination with traditional costume, and Erik Madigan Heck's painterly use of colour and natural light, to Daniel Jackson's exploitation of movement and dynamic shape or Hanna Putz's cool neutral aesthetic, the photographs brought together under Magdalene Keaney's curation are diverse, innnovative and utterly memorable. With an introduction that sets out the author's view on the meaning of contemporary fashion photography and its prevalent visual trends, as well as texts on each of the photographers that profile and critique their careers and work to date, this book looks beyond what is 'now' and showcases what comes 'next'.

Magdalene Keaney is an Australian photography curator and writer. Currently the Director of the Gallery of Australian Design, she was formerly a curator at the Australian National Portrait Gallery and Associate Curator of Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, London.
