FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY
Fashion Photography is a type of photography displaying clothes and fashion items.We can discover fashion photography in magazines like: Vogue, Vanity Fair, Grace and many others.
One of the biggest and most important Fashion photography magazine is Vogue.
Vogue is a fashion magazines published monthly in 18 different nations.
The current editor of the American Vogue is probably one of the most impressive and rich person in America, her name is Anna Wintour.
She took over Vogue in 1988 and since then she produced a type of fashion that nobody have seen it before, she also took her magazine to a wider audience.
Not many photographers had the honour of taking pictures for Vogue.
One of the early photographer who took some amazing fashion pictures was Cecil Beaton.
Cecil Beaton was an English fashion and portrait photographer.
Beaton took many exellent shots for Vogue.
Vogue took him regurarly in 1927.
Cecil Beaton made fantastic fashion pictures, and many Vogue's photographers nowadays are trying to set up the same studio, same lights and same camera that he used back in the thirties and reproduce the same or (almost the same) pictures.
Beaton also worked for Vanity Fair during the thirties.
Fashion Photography different from others types of Photography, produce a kind of fake image; so we need to understand that the audience who like fashion photography are very different to those who liked war and photojournalism.
War photography it shows something real, something that in that moment is really happening; while Fashion photography is more a studio shots photography modified by computers.
Infact many models that we see and admire on posters or magazines they are just a reproduction of a sudio picture modified in later on a computer.
Fashion photography also look like portrait photography, so what is the difference?
Both are visual art forms and each of them fills a particular need.
We need to take in consideration that Fashion photography deals with the exterior areas of humans being; clothes, make up, hair style are all about the appearance.
Fashion photography is also a form of art that change with time.
Portrait photography capture the essence of the individual not the appearance.
Portrait photography is also used in a lot documentaries to show lives and fellings of people.

THOMAS HOEPKER
One of the many differences between human beings and animals is that humans need to reflect their own lives;
they need to record special moments and to freeze scenes of their lives.
That's why Photography nowadays is one of the most important media of our time.
We find photography everywhere, magazines, books, TV, posters.
We are constantly fed by pictures 24 hours a day.
Our century if full of great photographers.
Ton/y Vaccaro, Eddie Adams, Diane Arbus and many other artists have helped to enrich our century with colour and meaningful pictures; and in this post I am going to analyse the life and the work of one of them.
Thomas Hoepker is a German photographer.
He was born in Munich in 1963.
Hoepker first began taking pictures when he was sixteen.
His grandfather gave him an old 9/2 glass plate camera.
He developed pictures in house and began to sell some of his photos to friends and classmates.
In a few years Hoepker became a respected photographer; Magnum Photo began to publish his pictures in
1964 and he became a full member in 1989.
Thomas Hoepker's pictures are very passionate; they captured moment and action of our life that only such an artist could see.
He used say " I am not an artist, I am an image maker"
He took all kind of pictures, black and white, colour, he added some special effect to some of them and as a World photographer he has been everywhere.
During his career his photographed many famous people like: Mohammed Ali, Andy Warhol and many others.
On 9/11, the day that America was attacked he took one of the most controversial pictures.
A group of New Yorkers sit and chatting in sunny day, while on the other side two towers in New York are burning.
In this picture these people look very calm, enjoy their day, like nothing was happening.
This picture when first came out was banned because in that sad moment of the history, a group of American were looking the towers burning with indifference, so America could have bad publicity.
This picture was banned for years and it just came out this year.
We will never know what those people were thinking; maybe they were scared and worried just like the rest of the world.
Thomas Hoepker took this picture, maybe he could be the only one to know what those people were discussing about and what were their feelings.
they need to record special moments and to freeze scenes of their lives.
