Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The 21st century has seen dramatic changes in photography, technology, fashion, and art.
At the centre of these developments is a group of fashion photographers who are breaking new ground in a variety of ways, including cultural referencing, digital imaging, photo manipulation, and the use of new media. This stunningly illustrated book profiles more than 30 artists from around the world through exclusive interviews, commentary, and beautiful images. From Nick Knight's paint-soaked portraits of Lady Gaga and Sean+Seng's dangerous reworkings of Lana del Rey, to the body-image subversions of Alice Hawkins, neo-surrealist fantasies of Miles Aldridge, and the work of Ruven Afanador (left), new fashion portraiture challenges conventional ideas of beauty by confronting us with the unexpected. Throughout the book, these photographers explore avenues previously off-limits to fashion photography, opening the art up to thrilling possibilities.
