Generally, I have chosen images where the models are smoking. Smoking had a big impact on the 80s - everybody was doing it & was classed as a glamorous thing to do. Hense these feminine images with models smoking. Although I am aware that smoking is known to be bad for you nowadays, I can't help but like the affect they give vintage fashion photography. Therefore, I am going to do a shoot on black and white 80s fashion, including cigarettes. I like how Meisel has portrayed 80s fashion through glamorous, feminine women to add a sophisticated feel to such an erotic/shocking image.
Steven Meisel is an American photographer, born in 1954. He has been shooting Italian Vogue covers since 1988 and is well known for his Madonna photographs in 1992 for her book, Sex. He is considered one of the most successful fashion photographers in the industry. His fascination for fashion and beauty came from a young age when he used to draw women, getting his inspiration from magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. He studied Fashion Illustration at the High School of Art and Design, where he learnt most of his skills and techniques for his recent work.
