John French is a British fashion photographer who had huge success in the 60's fashion industry. His photographs are the epitomy of the class and style of this high-fashion and decadent era. The female models are beautiful, and French was notorious for being meticulous in his construction of the composition of an image- rather than directing the model in various poses, he preferred to converse with them and organise a shot prior to shooting, which resulted, in my opinion, in lavish and beautifully composed images. The black and white tones remind me of this past era that i associate with a class, and sophistication that is missing from today's fashion... however i also note that modern fashion photography is different, and can be just as inspiring.
