|| The Seven Photographs That Changed Fashion ||

I have watched 'The Seven Photographs That Changed Fashion' and decided to look at one of the photographs in more detail.

Helmut Newton, Yves Saint Laurent, Rue Aubriot, Vogue France, 1975, Paris

Helmut was a German- Australian photographer known for presenting women in another light. Instead of making them overly feminine, he used to add a masculine feel to them. This once pushed the feminists to protesting one of his exhibits by throwing paint at his photographs. He even said '"In my vocabulary ART is a dirty word''. This made him stand out and created his own style, because he simply had no limits or morals when it came to photography. 

The feel of this photograph is very dark, which just emphasises the masculinity. It also feels very rough as well as classy because of the buildings. The lights are on, but there is no one there which creates the intimate side to this photograph.  

I did some research and came across another- contemporary version of this photograph for the same company. 

Cara Delevingne for YSL Baby Doll Mascara, 2013

This photo has definitely got a similar feel to the photo above. It shows the connection that the two women in it have and that it is quite intimate. One woman is clearly more masculine then the other, and of course one of them is naked. Also the hair in both photos is almost the same, a classy low bun, with a side parting.
