Fashion Photography (2017)

Fashion Photography: The Story in 180 Pictures, Thames & Hudson hardcover, 2017 (Aperture in the US) The one survey here, and the best first buy for someone who wants the whole history before committing to a single photographer. Eugénie Shinkle tells the story of fashion photography through about 180 key pictures across 272 pages, one image at a time, so it reads well in short visits. The Thames & Hudson printing is now listed as out of print, so US buyers should look for the Aperture edition or a secondhand copy. It also doubles as a shopping guide: the photographers whose pages you keep returning to are the ones whose own books to buy next.
