When referring to the fashion photography of the 'swinging 60's' it is a natural desire to adopt/steal the lighting techniques of David Bailey or his similar partners in crime like Duffy or Terence Donovan.
After all, it were these three significant figures, regarded as the 'black trinity' which altered and shaped the face of fashion photography.
It was the rebellious nature of these three characters which defied what was expected from a fashion photographer. After all, throughout this period of time, admirers of fashion were only exposed to the very structured and excessively bold/dramatic work of Cecil Beaton and Edward Steichen.

Don't get me wrong, the work of Beaton and Steichen is remarkable. They will forever act as an iconic form within both fashion and photography. However, there is always time for change.

My intentions are to combine the photographic strengths of both Bailey's and Steichen's work. Thus creating photographs which exemplify the wild essence of Bailey alongside the bold and dramatic style of Steichen or Beaton.
