More Inspirational Photographers...

I have always loved classic, glamour style fashion photography, and two artists I love are Richard Avedon and Mario Testino and the fact that most of their photography is black and white makes their photographs even more beautiful.

Richard Avedon changed the style of fashion photography by shooting outside the studio. His photographs in the 50s included a very famous image of the beautiful icon Marilyn Monroe. I found this video which shows some of Avedon's work and his styles and to watch it was really inspirational to me.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fciMg-z0vSc&feature=related



I  love the set-up and poses in this image, and the style of his images also really inspires me.



I love the angles in this photograph with the points of her feet and the straightly held umbrella.



Mario Testino is a more up-to-date fashion photographer, photographing for Vogue and the Royals, he is definitely a big inspiration for all. Testino has photographed almost all the big celebrity icons and the most beautiful models in the world. His style can go from extremely classic and sexy like his photographs of the model Gisele, to modern and colourful to his recent photographs of Lady GaGa.



This is one of my favourite most inspirational photographs of Testino's. I think he has captured model Gisele absolutely beautifully.  



This is another photograph of model Gisele. I love the NYC backdrop in this photograph, and of course the 50s inspired clothing and hair.
