I was stopped cold by this photograph by Jean-François Campos earlier in the month. The photo is from an editorial titled Postmodern done for Flair Italy, May 2008.
“I’ve always had an attraction for fashion, but I remember that when I was a photojournalist, whenever I talked about my interest in fashion, it was always met with disdain, as photojournalists didn’t take fashion photographers very seriously. If we were to talk to a fashion photographer about a photojournalist, he will have a look of admiration in his eyes. However, if we were to talk to a photojournalist about a fashion photographer, he would show total disdain. I’ve always found that irritating, because some of the greatest photographers of the (last) century – Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, were great fashion photographers. Guy Bourdin was a great fashion photographer…” Jean-François Campos in an interview with Photographie Magazine, Novermber 2006 (The Path from Photojournalism to Fashion Photography).
