Erwin Blumenfeld

 

Classic photographers

Erwin Blumenfeld’s popular reputation comes almost completely from his work as a fashion photographer in New York in the 40s, yet when he came to choose his ‘Hundred Best Photos’ in 1969 only four of them were fashion shots.” Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to find more samples of his work online. Given his contribution to fashion photography - when fashion photography did not mean to take photos of naked anorexic women - that’s fairly sad.
