Sarah Moon

Sarah Moon’s ethereal and elegant work is usually classified as fashion photography, but her attraction to an abstract, painterly aesthetic has long pushed her most artistic work beyond the scope of a fashion shoot. Much like Lillian Bassman and Deborah Turbeville, Moon—who came to prominence in the nineteen-seventies—lets a romantic, often melancholic mood prevail.

Hedi Slimane

Hedi Slimane is the man responsible for the way rock ‘n’ roll looks today. His slim-line aesthetic, a cross between sleek and slacker, mod and 1980s punk, is everywhere — on David Bowie, Beck, Elton John, Bryan Ferry, Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand.

Mario Sorrenti

Mario Sorrenti is fascinated by people’s faces and the passions, fears and vulnerabilities they are capable of communicating. Equally adept at endorsing conventional notions of glamour as he is at subverting them, Sorrenti embodies much of the ambiguity of today’s fashion photography.

Nick Knight

Nick Knight, Director of SHOWstudio.com, is among the world’s most influential and visionary photographers. As a fashion photographer, he has consistently challenged conventional notions of beauty and is fêted for his groundbreaking creative collaborations with leading designers including Yohji Yamamoto, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen.

Jack Pierson

Pierson’s art is built on reference and counter-reference. The allusions forming his world are familiar enough: Diana Ross and the Yellow Brick Road, Vegas motels, empty corridors and Marilyn Monroe. The cultural and even emotional landscape suggested by his work is instantly recognizable as one of tawdry glitz and glamour, melancholy and nostalgia.
