Hired to fire the opening shots
Article Abstract:
Fashion photography in magazines attracts advertisers and readers and editors prefer to restrict artistic freedom in favour of business interests. Patrick Demarchelier left 'Vogue' in 1992 to work for 'Harper's Bazaar.' Top photographers attract top models and the influential Bruce Weber and expressionist Peter Lindbergh have also been employed by Liz Tiberis, editor of 'Harper's Bazaar.' Steven Meisel, who creates images for models with his work, remains with 'Vogue.' Teamwork produces the best photography for magazines.
