brief introduction

Afden 1923 was born in America. 65438-0944, signed the fashion magazine Harper's Market, and worked as a full-time photographer for more than 20 years. From 65438 to 0966, he transferred to new york (Fashion) magazine. 1992, nearly 70-year-old Aviden became the chief photographer of The New Yorker. In June, 2004, Aviden, who was over eighty years old, died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage while taking photos for The New Yorker.

Aidan broke the rules of fashion photography in his early years. He let the models walk in the streets, restaurants and bars in fashion, and integrate the sense of movement into the static display of fashion, which is close to reality and life, so as to achieve the purpose of deducing fashion culture in life scenes.

1955, Afden took a black-and-white photo "Domma and Elephant" for the evening dress of French brand christian dior. The sharp contrast between the rough-skinned elephant and the slim and charming female model gives people a great visual blow and establishes his position in the field of international fashion photography.

Since then, Aidan's photographic creation has gradually formed a distinctive personal characteristic. His subjects are basically manipulated in advance and are often placed at the front of the picture; He likes to use the flash, but tries to avoid the shadow left on the background board when the flash is turned on: he never hides the physical defects, wrinkles, bags under the eyes and scars of the characters, which are conspicuous on the screen, but the real appearance can arouse the viewer's interest more.

Aidan is also an active humanistic photographer. He went to the southern United States to film the movement of black people fighting for freedom rights, filmed anti-war activities all over the United States, and even personally filmed the Vietnam War.

Fashion has never been Aidan's only interest in photography. His interest lies in people, and he attaches great importance to the relationship between photographers and subjects. In his view, the important thing in taking pictures is his interest in the subjects, and there should be stories between them.

From 65438 to 0979, Italian fashion designer Versace began to cooperate with Afden out of concern for his brand image. Since then, Aidan has been shooting fashion products of Versace brand for 20 years. Versace's fame is not long. In just one or two decades, it has become one of the four major Italian fashion brands that can be on par with Armani, Gucci and Valentino. These successes are not unrelated to Aidan's help.
