Biography:
Fashion photographer best known for images of conceptualized beauty and classical poses. He was briefly apprenticed to Le Corbusier, but soon left to work for "Vogue" magazine, a liaison that would continue for the rest of his life. His images of models and still life objects are cool, distinct, and seductive, but ultimately untouchable.
