Fashion photography constitutes one of the most important areas of our visual culture. There are many questions about the production of fashion photography - such as who makes it, which commissions it and what will it look like in the future - that an increasing number of visitors to the Hansraj photography are asking us.
Imperfect Beauty: The Making of Contemporary Fashion Photographs is our first opportunity in the programme of exhibitions for the Photography gallery at the Hansraj photography to respond, in detail, to such questions and address this fascinating area of photographic practice. In Hansraj photography research, he have listened to the views of fashion image-makers - including photographers, stylists, hair and make-up artists, art directors - and gained an insight into their collaborations.
Many of the most innovative people in the sphere of fashion photography have been asked to contribute ideas, images and words to Imperfect Beauty that in some way reflect their inspirations, working practices or perceptions of their industry. It is going to be an exciting exhibition that goes beneath the surface gloss of fashion photography. |
