When we think of Fashion Photography what come to
mind? Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle just to name a couple of magazines that display fashion photography at its finest in modern day society. But fashion photography has existed for as long as the camera may it first appearance in 1830s using the earliest technique called daguerreotype. But when we think of fashion photography we immediately
think of magazine but it has not always been that way in fact magazine have just started to put fashion photos in their magazines, early 20th century. The first fashion photos to be published in a magazine were in French magazines.
For example the French magazine “La mode practique”. But what started it all to give fashion photography its own name in photography and respected by the photography community was in 1909 when Condé Nast became the director of Vogue magazine. She gave fashion photography the push it needed to come what it is today.
