Fashion Photography Photo Shoots
In 1909, Condé Nast took over Vogue magazine and also contributed to the beginnings of fashion photography. Special emphasis was placed on staging the shots, a process first developed by Baron Adolf de Meyer, who shot his models in natural environments and poses.
Vogue was followed by its rival, Harper’s Bazaar , and the two companies were leaders in the field of fashion photography throughout the 1920s and 1930s.
House photographers such as Edward Steichen , George Hoyningen-Huene , Horst P. Horst and Cecil Beaton transformed the genre into an outstanding art form. Europe, and especially Germany, was for a short time the leader in fashion photography.
