The Female of the Species
In a photographic world that’s dominated by the Testinos and Tellers, women’s contribution to the oeuvre often gets overlooked. Now a new exhibition at Galleria Carla Sozzani entitled, ‘Women Photographers’, helps to redress the balance.
Alongside the beautiful, exotic imagery of Louise Dahl-Wolfe (a big influence on Irving Penn and Richard Avedon), are Sarah Moon’s painterly, dream-like works and images by Sheila Metzner, Francesca Woodman and the brilliant Deborah Turbeville – all of whom continue to discreetly inspire fashion photography today.
Galleria Carla Sozzani, Corso Como 10 – 20154 Milano, Italia, the show runs until the 3rd April.
