| British photographer Glen Luchford first caught the public eye in the late 1990s, with his avant-garde fashion campaigns for Prada. With its elaborate lighting and atmosphere of conspicuous artifice, Luchford s highly cinematic imagery exemplified the merging visual languages of fashion and art photography, launching the photographer as one of his generation s most imaginative talents. Part of Steidldangin s new British Influence series, this monograph presents 80 photographs from the past two decades, beginning with Luchford s earliest images, which prefigure the gritty, found-light aesthetic that defined the first half of the 1990s, from the quiet black-and-white portraits of musical icons such as Ian Brown, to more aggressive street shots of Kate Moss that catch the spirit of a seedy New York en route to gentrification. In later work, Luchford s from-the-hip naturalism gave way to an almost Hitchcockian style of portraiture. This monograph presents works in a range of media, from 35 mm black-and-white to 8 x 10, to digital formats, and features an interview with Luchford s long-time friend and artistic collaborator, painter Jenny Saville.From the very start of his career, Glen Luchford reinvigorated British fashion photography through his work for magazines such as i-D and The Face. He has shot campaigns for advertising clients such as Yves Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein and has exhibited with painter Jenny Saville. Luchford s work has been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Photographer s Gallery in London, and at The Museum of Modern Art in New York (as part of the 2004 exhibit Fashioning Fiction). |
