Did you know that the first photographic fashion layout in a magazine was instigated because of a dare? Fashion photography has come a long way since its introduction at the turn of the 20th century, but only thanks to a cadre of incredible photographers throughout the generations who've pushed the limits of technical capabilities and creativity. From mastering the staged photoshoot to capturing fashion "in the wild" on crowded city streets, it's time to explore the world of fashion photography starting from its humble beginnings.
Join New York Adventure Club for the first of a two-part seriessurrounding the art of fashion photography — in Part I, we'll explore the evolution of fashion photography between the 1850s to the 20th century, through the lens of some of the industry's most legendary and trendsetting photographers.
Led by professional photographer Julien McRoberts, this virtual and educational experience will include:
The early evolution of photography in fashion, with a focus on the beautiful editorial photography shot by the industry's best photographers
A look at retouching techniques in the early days of photography, well before the advent of air brushing and photoshop
The impact and contributions of some of the world's greatest fashion photographers between the 1920s and early 2000s in the pre-digital era, including Cecil Beaton, Edward Steichen, Irving Penn, and Richard Avedon
An analysis of what makes a good photograph
The progression of fashion and fashion photography in the face of changing trends, societal norms, and commercialism
Peek behind the curtain to see what it takes to set up a fashion shoot
