Fashion Photographers We love - Helmut Newton

2012-11-21T10:00:00.000+02:00

Helmut Newton

(31 October 1920 – 23 January 2004)

''I like photographing the people I love, the people I admire, the famous, and especially the infamous.''

Helmut Newton was born on October 31, 1920 in Berlin, grew up in a privileged family. Due to his passion for photography, he stopped going to school and pursued an apprenticeship with Elsie Simon, a top photographer. He only had this job for a while because he had to feel Germany due to Adolf Hitler's violent treatment of Jews in Germany. His name became synonymous to the magazine's look and feel, leading to more work for other magazines such as Nova, Queen, Marie-Claire, Elle, Playboy and different editions of Vogue. His provocative photos of women earned him the titles “Prince of Porn” and “King of Kink”. This image of his kind of photography was cemented with the release of his book called “White Women,” an erotic publication that defines his style and artistic vision.

Fashion Photographers We love - Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon

(May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004)

''I think all art is about control - the encounter between control and the uncontrollable''

Richard Avedon was one of the most important and prolific photographers of the second half of the twentieth century, and in the eyes of many photography and fashion specialists, he was the most important fashion photographer of all time. In a career spanning sixty years he showed himself capable of almost constant stylistic reinvention, yet in retrospect his oeuvre also demonstrated a remarkable coherence and strength that far surpassed the narrow confines of fashion photography. He was born in New York in 1923, Richard Avedon dropped out of high school and joined the Merchant Marine’s photographic section. Upon his return in 1944, he found a job as a photographer in a department store. Within two years he had been “found” by an art director at Harper’s Bazaar and was producing work for them as well as Vogue, Look, and a number of other magazines. During the early years, Avedon made his living primarily through work in advertising. His real passion, however, was the portrait and its ability to express the essence of its subject.

A Great Video About Love & Life

This is the most surreal cute short film, starring a small, oppressed zero. The ZERO is born into a world of numbers. In a world where everyone is being criticized from the size. In a world where constantly faced prejudice and rejection.

Until one day, a random meeting changes his life forever: he meets a female zero. Together prove that with determination, courage and love, nothing can be truly something.

The film ZERO created in 2010 and has won many international awards. The idea, the script and direction belong to Christofer Kezelos. The production is of Christine Kezelos.
