BERLIN EXHIBIT: TRENDS IN FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

From September 20-November 15 there will be an exhibit tracing the trends and development of photography in fashion at the Camera Work Gallery in Berlin.

“This group exhibition will provide a representative overview of the development of fashion photography from its beginnings in the 1920s to the present time. With over 250 works of a total of 65 photographers – many of which are vintages – one can trace the different trends of fashion photography. The spectrum of the photographs on display ranges from the sometimes classic compositions of an Edward Steichen to the experimental photographs of Man Ray, from the sexual revolution to the resulting emancipation of women as shown, for example, by Helmut Newton, and from the cool elegance of the 1990s – influenced by Peter Lindbergh – to the highly imaginative works of Tim Walker.

There is hardly any other genre besides fashion photography that is able to capture the zeitgeist of a decade with such clarity. Moreover, it tells us in a very vivid and lucid way about the longings and dreams of the respective generations.”

This exhibit should be a great place to see how the times have really dictated the trends of photography and presenting products.

This would be a great time to come to Berlin and see the exhibit as the air is just starting to get fresh and the tourists are starting to be less and less ubiquitous around the city. I definitely recommend either The Mandala Hotel located in Potsdamerplatz just a few S bahn stops from the Camera Work Gallery, or the Lux 11 located in Mitte. Here you could definitely get a sense from the current state of photography by walking through the gallery-laden streets of Auguststrasse or Brunnenstrasse.
