“The yokel I was I couldn't imagine how one took a fashion photograph. How to light? What camera? What was the model supposed to be doing? How not to make us both look like fools? I'd never seen a fashion sitting. I supposed it to be some sort of arcane ritual with secret rules and coded vocabulary."
~ William Klein
(1926-2022)
A chance encounter can change one’s fortunes and path. Meeting the great art director, Alexander Liberman, for Condé Nast was certainly a life changing event for Bill which resulted in many of the genre’s greatest images. There is a good reason why Bill chose this particular image to place on the cover of his book “In and Out of Fashion”. It has everything one could want in a fashion shot. Pure beauty mixed with allure and seduction.
