Favorite Fashion Photographers

Arnaud Pyvka's work has grace, whimsicality, and softness, which is sometimes harder to achieve than a bright, in-your-face shot. He uses soft tints and shallow depth of field to create evocative fashion photography. I like his photography because it has an interesting contrast of colors. 

Horst Diekgerdes shoots for Elle, Numero, Harper's Bazaar, Another Man, Sonia Rykiel, H&M, and Uniqlo, always creating mysterious fairytale-like scenes that seem to have a dark side. As a masterful storyteller, he uses soft light and interesting outdoor and indoor locations. I like his photography because it is unique and you don't see much fairy-tale like pictures anywhere else.

Like his father, Patrick Demarchelier, Victor Demarchelier took up photography, and it seems he inherited the fashion photography genes. His work uses simple concepts to make big statements. He shoots for a variety of major magazines and has established himself as separate from, albeit still a descendant of, one of the greatest fashion photographers to ever live. I like how he uses black and white rather than color.
