     Trends in fashion photography have come and gone over the past two decades but, increasingly, fashion photography has become more about selling attitude and lifestyle than the clothes.

     Thus, in a quest for the new and the noticeable, fashion photographers have always been at the cutting edge of technical innovations. But the innovations first explored in fashion inevitably influence styles of advertising and editorial.

     While it is virtually impossible to display the huge array of images that coexisted in the crowded pages of fashion magazines in the past two decades, the fashion images that are in this site (including work by David Seidner, Richard Avedon, Victor Skrebneski, Dominique Isserman, Josef Astor, Wayne Maser, Mario Testino, etc.) represent just a few of the cutting-edge images that have influenced every genre of photography.
