Fashion photography: who do you like/ who's your inspiration?

[floramc]

Hi folks!

I suppose since this is a forum for creatives, that some fashion photographer might be around. I would like to know who are your inspirations, and what pictures do you look at. Are you Vogue enthusiasts? Or how do you create your ideas?

I work hand in hand with the stylists when I do my works and we create the story together.

As inspirations I like very much Mario Testino and Paolo Roversi from the Vogue masters. I would like to connect with other fashion photographers around the world, anybody here?

There is an exhibit currently running at the Metropolitan museum of Irving Penn's work. Not just his Vogue images. Worth seeing if you can.

Great photographer! I am not based in the US but surely an exhibition to see. Avedon is another master I like.

I hear different opinions about H. Newton. What do you think?
