1940's and 1950's Fashion Photographer - Clifford Coffin

Clifford Coffin (1913-1972) was another of the great fashion photographers of the 1940's and 1950's.  His work with such magazines as Vogue and Glamour has left quite a legacy for us to enjoy today.  Take a look!

50's Fashion Photographer - Irving Penn

Here is the work of another 50's fashion photographer, Irving Penn (1917-2009).  This American born photographer began working at Vogue Magazine at age 26 and continued a relationship with them for 40 years.  He most often used simple grey or white backdrops for his sophisticatd fashion images.

No white or grey backdrop!

50's Fashion Photographer - Walde Huth

Continuing my current obsession with 50's and 60' fashion photographers...Walde Huth, born in Germany in the early 1920's, was known for including architecture as a backdrop for the glamorous fashions of the day.  Here is some of her inspiring work.
