Additional photographers:
Sebastian Kim (fashion photographer):
Sebastian Kim published his first work at the age of 16,
this broadened his fan base ever so slightly. However, at first Kim rejected
the offer, enabling him to become Richard Avedon’s assistant photographer, whom
he continued to work with for another 16 years. Throughout his 16 years of
working with a professional, he found out that in order to succeed in the
photography industry you have to collaborate with fellow photographers because
not only does it allow the photographer to see the world, it allows them to
gain inspiration and develop their own photography skills.
Most fashion photographers like Sebastian Kim make their
money from commission work for big brands, companies, or magazine companies
such as Vogue.
These are the main
ways in which Sebastian Kim made money:
Kim mainly worked with global magazines such as Vogue, which
enabled his photographs to appear in various worldwide issues e.g. American,
Russian and German issues. His work also featured in the Tokyo issue of Numero
fashion magazine.
Furthermore, he has various commissions for big brands such
as Calvin Klein and H&M, as well as people like Nina Richi and John
Galliano.
Purpose of his photography:
His main objective was to promote, advertise, as well as
entertain his target audience; due to the fact that all his photography was for
famous fashion magazines. His work had to reflect the latest fashion trends,
making them look pleasing and professional whilst still having that artistic
flare present, in order to engage the viewer. He does this by using interesting
locations, poses composition techniques.
His work effected the audience in a positive and negative
way.
Since the 1960’s were his prime years, he included some people of colour
in his final projects; this caused vigorous outrages due to segregation in the
USA however, in Europe at the time he hardly had any problems with using
multi-cultural models as racism had slowly calmed down. Through later years in
his career, the use of multi-cultural models actually enhanced the fashion
industry because it provided people worldwide with optimism, people from all
around the world would create their own fashion based on their country. All
these different designs benefited the fashion industry in terms of variety and
creativity.

"Black and white is immediately more mysterious because we see in colour all the time. It is quieter than colour."
