Fashion Photography

Enjoy staff picks in Fashion Photography from the artnet Gallery Network. Discover exceptional and provocative imagery selected by our team of international art scholars.

From its inception, fashion photography has provoked and entranced the viewer with titillating, fantastic imagery. Photographer and subject come together to create the artwork, with a muse-master or muse-voyeur relationship. These ever-evolving, sought-after images have the power to instill and encapsulate current aesthetic ideals of beauty, as well as to shock and mystify the viewer. From Richard Avedon to Mario Testino, the subtlety of a shadow or the drama of a highlight can turn a figure from porcelain to plastic. Exotic, erotic, delicate, soft, beautiful, scandalous, grotesque, celebrity, materialistic, youth-obsessed—these are a few words that come to mind when one thinks of the powerful images of fashion photography and their effect on the viewer and society as a whole.
