Nice photographers are sometimes described as having a singular, unmistakable type—a phrase that may really feel hyperbolic, but for a number of true originals, it rings totally true.
One in every of them is undoubtedly Steven Klein, the artist who appears to plunder the unconscious, giving visible type to our deepest wishes. Klein can also be a profound interpreter of trend’s language, as demonstrated by the long-lasting photograph shoots he has created all through his lengthy profession. The guide Steven Klein: Vogue, revealed by Abrams this December, gathers a few of his most cinematic and unforgettable pictures commissioned by Anna Wintour for Vogue US between 2000 and 2019, and produced in collaboration with editors together with Phyllis Posnick, Grace Coddington, Camilla Nickerson, and Tonne Goodman.
The themes of those images? Legendary fashions and modern icons. “With Steven Klein, you’ll give him a gown,” writes Wintour, “and he’ll offer you a lady with a gown with a robotic in a backyard. It’s intelligent, conceptual, and in the end lyrical.” We spoke with him forward of the guide’s launch, scheduled for early December.
