Baron Adolphe de Meyer "L'aube de la photographie de mode"


History looks upon Baron Adolphe de Meyer as the first fashion photographer.
The line of the couturier is suggested within/in hazy atmospheres, transparency effects create an impression of lightness.
As a forerunner of contemporary photography, he begins working the light, and managed to catch transparency and made it a key element of his compositions.
Between 1913 and 1924 Baron Adolphe de Meyer dominates, in a pictorialist style, this movement born in the end of the 19th century which gave photography an artistic side.
As soon as he started he took a partner, more specifically thanks to his collaboration with Vogue and Vanity Fair. He photographs mostly the richest social classes. In 1924 he is dethroned by Edward Steichen, hired by Vogue.
