The seven photographs that changed fashion...

The seven photographs that changed fashion is a documentary by British portrait and fashion photographer, John Rankin Waddell. He decided to re create seven iconic fashion images that changed the way artists, designers and photographers worked forever. 

This documentary is relevant because it fits in with the project were doing, we are creating modern, contemporary images of the historic portraits of Elizabeth I.  The program allows us to go back in time and gives us historical meaning to the photos, explains to the viewers why this image changed the world of fashion at its time of release and allows us to understand how to re create historical images.

These images are clearly so well known, I have come across a few of these images and not realized they were this iconic! The Erwin Blumenfeld Vogue Cover is one of my most favorite images and yet I didn't know the background of this image until I watched this documentary!

David Bailey is a English fashion and portrait photographer well known for his work on so many high profile celebrities and for his extensive work in Vogue.
The image above was shot by David and the model is Jean, his girlfriend at the time of the photoshoot. This image caught my attention more than any of the other 6. There is something about Jean's  beauty that captivates you and draws you in. The way shes stood, her facial expressions, her pose are all so effortless, elegant and 

beautiful, The image almost makes me feel warm inside.
This image has a bit of sex appeal and with the time of its release would of caused quite a stir, which is something that got both David Bailey and Jean noticed.
