    by Thomas Werner, 2018

    Great fashion photography, at its best, reflects and shapes the era in which it is made.

The Fashion Image will help you develop your style through practical advice for image makers.

    by Nick Rees-Roberts, 2018

    Examining collaborations between fashion designers and pioneering image-makers such as Guy Bourdin, Jean-Paul Goode, William Klein and Nick Knight, the book highlights the critical tension between the fashion film conceived as a creative endeavour and as commercial enterprise.
