In the Making: Fashion & Advertising showcases images by leading English fashion and advertising photographers Elaine Constantine, Warren Du Preez & Nick Thornton Jones, Alexi Lubomirski, Sølve Sundsbø and Paul Wetherell. Each exemplifies a particular approach to working in the industry such as composition, digital platforms, working with celebrities, the studio and natural light published in magazines including V (US), Big (US, Self Service (FR) and Harper's Bazaar (US).
Audiences readily recognise the faces and products that fashion photographers popularise, but rarely know them by anything other than their picture credit. Together with their work, this display features a specially-commissioned portrait of each photographer by London-based image-maker Immo Klink with quotes from interviews about individual working methods to further reveal the processes of how these team driven images are created. The display is launched in conjunction with a new title in Rotovision's World's Top Photographers Workshops series by National Portrait Gallery Assistant Curator, Magda Keaney.
