The Art of the Fashion Photographer: Michael Thompson's "Straight Shooter"







Fashion Photographer Michael Thompson, who is linked to French Vogue, Vanity Fair, the Gap, Tiffany & Co and Chanel, states that his work is "all over the place in terms of light and subject matter." This aesthetic is learned from his mentor Irving Penn (known for his use of simplicity) and tends to use very strong and graphic subjects. Already having witnessed his first U.S. solo exhibition, Thompson is now at Hasted Hunt and is on view until October 25th; an artist reception is being held on September 11th.
