Hi, I'm Rebecca Guenther, with www.M5A1photography.com, and I'm here to tell you about some famous fashion photographers. Now, of course it's difficult to say who's famous, who's not, and also what a short list I'm going to have to do, but let's start with probably the most notable famous fashion photographer, Richard Avedon. He was an amazing photographer, and he was probably best known in my generation for his 1990 ads for Calvin Klein, featuring Kate Moss and the whole heroine chic revolution. He shot very beautiful black and whites for this campaign, and to this day it remains probably the signature look for the whole Calvin Klein line. Now, if you're a famous fashion photographer you do get to do that; you get to help define what a clothing line is and what their look is. You can also look at Annie Leibowitz. She is also an amazing photographer, has shot for Vanity Fair and Vogue, and usually does really beautiful, extravagant shots. David LaChapelle is another fashion photographer who does a little bit more out there, a little bit strange. His images are always very bright, very colorful, very fantasy driven. You can also look at Irving Penn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sarah Moon, and Cecil Beaton if you want to go back to the past and deal with probably one of the first fashion photographers. And those are just a few fashion photographers.
