Fashion Photography

Introduction to Fashion Photography

In 1856, Adolphe Braun published a book which contained the first fashion photography, this was the beginning of it all. The photographs in the book shows her in her official court garb making her the first fashion model.

Within the first decade of the 20th century, advancements in halftone printing (Arrangment of different coloured dots with different sizes to create a colour or an image) made them able to print fashion photography easier. Fashion photography began in French magazines with the name 'La Mode Practique'. In 1909, Condé Montrose Nast took over Vogue magazine which also helped to create Fashion photography.

Fashion photography was origionally introduced in black and white, but colour was soon use in -the genre.

There are many different genres of fashion photography such as:

• Surreal
• Exotic
• Nude
• Abstract
• Retro
• Erotic
• Fantasy

All of these different genres are able to put across a totally different message.

Context

Fashion photography can be used almost everywhere such as newspapers, bilboards, television or magazines, however this can depend on what sort of image t is as if it is a nude or erotic photo then maybe it shouldn't be displayed publicly.

Techniques

Almost all images used in Fashion Photography will be editted in some way as it can make an image a lot more attractive to anyone that looks at the image, it can als give it a totally different feeling. They can also edit things in or out of the image if they want to. Here is an example of an image before and after editing.

Social Documentary

Application
Henri Carter-Bresson's photography is a brilliant example of Photo Journalism.
Henri Carter-Bresson was a French photographer that took photos throughout the early 90s.
The camera which made his famous photography was the Lecia camera which was invented in 1925 in Germany, it's revolutionary technology made photography quick and quiet meaning he could get a photo the exact moment which he wants giving him instant photography.

The Leica 1925

When Henri Cartier-Bresson and the Leica met in 1925, Photo Journalism was born.


Robert Capa was a very well known and famous photographer who captured decisive, journalism images, some of the images he has taken are shocking or graphic however, because of images like the ones he has captured,


Context
Photo Journalism photography would be used in many instances such as newspapers, photographs and magazines. Normally, newspapers would only use a photo if it had a story linked too it, like Henri Carter-Bressons photography. Another incident that it is used in is magazines, Robert Capa was a photo journalist for the magazine 'Life' and produced many brilliant photos for the magazines.

Techniques 
The technique which Henri Cartier-Bresson used most frequently was the technique of finding a spot, and waiting for what you want to happen, such as this famous photo of a man cycling a bike past him, this was known as the "Decisive moment". His camera made this sort of photography possible because if he had any other sort of camera at this time, he wouldn't of been able to capture images instantly.

When taking images in public, he would very frequently have black tape around all of the chrome parts of the camera so that people wouldn't react differently to being on camera, he would also never use a flash as he saw it as being "Impolite... Like coming to a concert with a pistol in your hand". 

To get the types of photos that he wanted, Robert Capa and Tony Vaccaro would risk their lives to get a photo that would tell a story, very few people managed to optain photographs from during World War 2 but because they where in the action, they managed too get many great photos.

Vaccaro's photos where even banned for their graphic content of dead soldiers. Capa and Vaccaro did not see themselves as soldiers, or didn't even think of survival, only capturing another photograph, another story.
