The success of Nadia’s portfolio up to now has earned her a loyal army of fashion groupies eagerly awaiting her next piece of work. She has become one of the trendiest visual artists of the moment. But who is she? And how has she projected to the level that she has?

_{Simi & Haze for “Women” – Nadia Lee Cohen https://www.nadialeecohen.com/women-2020}

Nadia Lee is a British photographer and videographer; she was born in the British countryside and has always had a passion for photography and film making. Her parents used to create her sets to photograph in the garage of her childhood home and after discovering her talent, she promptly moved to London to study Photography at the London College of Fashion.

_{Credits – Nadia Lee Cohen https://www.nadialeecohen.com/women-2020}

This sad reality of the state of a place she had dreamed of became her new inspiration and her saturated surreal dreamscape photography began to focus on the visual terrors of the urban environment. “The world I photograph and create doesn’t reside in the same world that we live in,” Nadia is recorded saying.

_{Miriam for “Women” – Nadia Lee Cohen https://www.nadialeecohen.com/women-2020}

To those less fascinated by the world of fashion photography Cohen is best known for the people she’s worked with, and she has built quite the portfolio photographing several high-profile celebrities with her own spin.

Filmography

She has also achieved incredible accolades in filmography. She visually directed the music video for Tyler the Creator and Kali Uchis “After the Storm” music video, A$ap Rocky’s “Babushka Boi” as well as Playboy and several short films.

Recently Nadia Lee was the creative genius behind the photography for Skims winter holiday collection that depicted brand founder Kim Kardashian in the style of vintage 60’s magazines. As well as advertising the brands silky boxers, all in ones and fluffy crop tops the shoot also used props like snow boots and skis to create the vintage wintery aesthetic.

In 2023 Cohen shot Kim Kardashians 4^th cover with CR Fashion magazine, and being the first magazine to ever give Kim a cover this one was likely quite sentimental.

The post Beyoncé And Nadia Lee Cohen Have Teamed Up To Bring Us Renaissance Act II: But Who Is Nadia Lee Cohen? appeared first on Voir Fashion.

So, today we are here to right that wrong and shine a light on just a few of the talented photographers working in the fashion world today. But, not just any photographers – we’re here to celebrate the very best female camera magicians in the industry and their empowering, uplifting and boundary breaking work! These incredibly talented women have each portrayed how it feels to be a woman in their own unique ways, celebrating the highs, the lows, the intimacy, the vulnerability and the fun all in equal measure. Get ready, your Insta feed is about to be blessed with a massive amount of female power!

Annie Reid

There’s an immediate sense of intimacy and vulnerability in Annie Reid’s photography. Annie isn’t afraid to get up close and personal when photographing her models, and whether the photo is either a simple headshot or something more noticeably intimate, that same level of striking vulnerability and honesty shines through. Her style is also tinged with nostalgia, with grainy video and photo effects and sun-drenched visuals being prominent throughout her work.

Carlijn Jacobs

Carlijn Jacobs embraces the surreal in the absolute best way with her photography, with a wicked sense of humour and trippy, iridescent colour palettes oozing through her catalogue. The surrealism expertly blends both nostalgia and futurism whilst also portraying and celebrating female empowerment in a gloriously unique way. Extreme close ups of heavily glossed lips, women photoshopped onto giant heels and pregnant women painted entirely in gold are just a few examples of this surrealist dreamscape.

Emre Unal

Looking for a photographer who is laden with some serious punkish attitude? Then look no further than Emre Unal, who is able to blend this attitude with a healthy dose of intimacy for a really special effect. Emre has a very diverse range of styles across her portfolio, with classic black and white portraiture, surreal photoshop experiments and sensual portrayals of the body all sitting alongside each other in a really cohesive way. Having such a diverse range of styles could easily look inconsistent but Emre and her work avoid this expertly.

Charlotte Rutherford

With collaborations with Apple Music, Lil Nas X, Halsey and a host of other big names under her belt, Charlotte Rutherford has certainly made a name for herself within the industry. Her body of work is marked with an immediate sense of humour and some seriously trippy colour palettes that embrace themes such as religion, futurism, sex and even nods to video games like Sonic the Hedgehog. Charlotte is definitely one of the most unique photographers on the scene right now and shows just how far the boundaries can be pushed.

Vicky Grout

Vicky Grout’s photography embraces a more down-to-earth vibe that captures the day-to-day moments of life that might seem otherwise mundane, such as shopping at the corner shop, and highlights them in their honest glory. This style of Vicky’s photography has a distinctly British feel that exudes an unmistakable charm, attitude and rawness that has come to be so associated with British culture.

Christine Hahn

There’s an immediate level of grace and sophistication in Christine Hahn’s photography that conveys a strong amount of maturity. With a portfolio made up of strong portraiture, Christine is able to capture her models in a way that, whilst obviously sophisticated, still maintains a lighthearted whimsy. Amongst her fantastic portfolio sits the cover of Camila Cabello’s single ‘Don’t Go Yet’ which is drenched in warm nostalgia and, of course, makes Camila look like the queen she is. If you’re looking for a mature and elegant celebration of women, then Christine Hahn is definitely your photographer.

Anna Zina

Anna Zina manages to capture all the sides of being a woman in vulnerable and playful shoots, many of which harken back to classic styles of photography that were prominent throughout the 60s and 70s. Monochromatic shots strip away all colour and leave the models at their most bare and pensive, whereas other photos are fitted with nostalgic filters that make you feel as though you are reliving a moment that never actually happened. It’s a wonderful portfolio of work, and at the forefront are women at their most vulnerable and most powerful.

Olivia Richardson

Clean and straight to the point, Olivia Richardson’s style of photography is pristine and overflowing with playful personality. With the ability to both be bold and strip things back to basics, Olivia’s photos celebrate women at their most human and their most playful. Equal parts vintage and modern, the photos themselves pop with vibrant colours and retro inspired visuals from oversized sunglasses to lit cigarettes, all of which are done in a suitably playful manner.

Petra Collins

Petra Collins has a style that is reminiscent of how a fairytale would appear in reality, otherworldly yet unmistakably real at the same time. This combination blurs the lines between reality and fiction amazingly well whilst utilising grainy effects, satisfying colour palettes and light work tinged with nostalgia. Among Petra’s many accomplishments is directing the music video for Olivia Rodrigo’s smash hit ‘Good 4 U’ which combines all the hallmarks of her photography work beautifully.

JUCOPHOTO (Julia Johnson & Cody Cloud)

JUCOPHOTO is the collaborative photography project of Julia Johnson and Cody Cloud. One of the most immediately noticeable aspects of their work is their insane use of bright and bold colours, which they utilise in incredibly satisfying ways, with colour almost becoming as much of a focal point as the models. Speaking of models, the duo have collaborated with some huge names including but not limited to Kim Kardashian, Reese Witherspoon, Troye Sivan and Tyler the Creator, in addition to photographing promos for season 14 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

The post These Female Photographers Are Capturing Power In One Shot. appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Photography can mean and transmit many things, it is challenging to define its significance due to the inclusivity it holds as a form of art and profession. But for artists like Carlota Guerrero, it comes rather naturally.

The Spanish self-taught photographer, that has gained international recognition over the years with her multi-dimensional work, envisions photography in her life as a collection of images that come to her. Images that allow her to capture and share the most beautiful aspects of her existence.

These aspects are captured through a simplistic vision highly centred on unfiltered and uncensored female beauty, and that have led her to collaborate with some of the most renowned brands and artists. Over the years her recognisable work has become part of the international art scene with projects like; the artistic direction of Solange Knowles’s “A Seat at the Table” album visuals, high fashion editorials for Givenchy and Dior, and performance pieces for art fairs like Art Basel Miami.

All of these projects demonstrate a new take on photography, one that distances it from commercially driven aesthetics and drifts towards individual authenticity. The latest project of the Barcelona-born and raised photographer, ‘Tengo un Dragón Dentro del Corazón’, is the ultimate demonstration of this redefining relationship with visual authenticity.

‘Tengo un Dragón Dentro del Corazón’(I have a dragon inside my heart) is Carlota Guerrero’s first book, a compilation of her work that documents the evolution of her creative style and photographic approach. It captures her professional and personal growth, showcasing everything from her early work and first experimentation with photography to her latest projects. Ones that reached the discovery of her niche and include an evident prioritisation of social movements, becoming more than beautiful images and performances.

We always wonder where artists get their inspiration from and how they manage to transmit this inspiration into their timely relevant work. Well, Carlota helped us understand that in her case it all started with the acknowledgment of her passion for photography.

“My biggest inspiration is that photography allows me to create energy, an energy that has so much strength that didn’t allow me to concentrate on anything else. So I became obsessed with creating images, it was something inescapable for me.”

“My biggest inspiration is that photography allows me to create energy”

When opening up to us, Carlota explains that her art is all about “creating timeless images”, ones that portray everything that touches her art. Which is where social causes come into action. She portrays the things she finds relevant and focuses on transmitting the “energies” that help her feel inspired.

But if you have ever worked in the creative realm you may know that it is not that simple to transport your aims and inspirations into your work. So how does Carlota do it? How exactly do her ideas develop?

“I photograph similar compositions, subjects, and scenarios over and over again – without thinking too much about it. Later on, I realised that this behaviour makes me think of a blooming orchid that isn’t aware she is doing so. I make compositions when I am thriving, I am those compositions – and many times I feel like I don’t choose them, they choose me.”

Most of her compositions talk about femininity, defining her work as a form of empowerment for women through the strong portrayal of natural beauty. This relates to the photographer’s connection with the concept of femininity. Being a woman is what moves her work, and exploring the different sides of femininity is what she believes to be the prominent characteristic of her photographic style.

“I portray what moves me, what I want to learn about… It is something genuine and instinctive. Being a woman is my condition and starting point. I start exploring from what I know, from what I am most familiar with: myself. My self-love does not differ (or should not differ) from my love for other women. I feel an infinite admiration for the female figure, her power and presence fascinates me to a visceral extent.”

“I feel an infinite admiration for the female figure, her power and presence fascinates me to a visceral extent.”

But this exploration of femininity doesn’t just revolve around herself and her personal understanding of femininity. It explored diverse areas and allowed her to learn from the contrasting experiences of other women and their womanhood.

“ I once photographed the trans female community in Cuba and it helped understand more than ever the feminine energy. A woman with very masculine aspects (due to the limited resources for transitioning) awoke in me the same energetic connection as an old friend of mine would. To me, being able to photograph women is an honour, to celebrate them and thank them for everything that I learn. It represents a stairway, an infinite stairway of women being carried by other women from the beginning of times, transmitting and passing on knowledge and intuition.”

As beautiful as the female body and energy may be, capturing it is a simple idea due to the normality of it. But minimalism, in this case, is not a shortcoming, it is a noticeable feature of Carlota’s work. She takes something that would normally be considered as common and overseen and frames it as something new by highlighting its simplicity.

“Minimalism is a way to create peaceful images that are missing in the real world. Creating a resting space inside the chaos. It is therapeutic for me to have empty spaces that allow me to breath and achieve clarity. The possibility to not have to decode details makes me feel at peace.”

This clarity of space and mind is also present in her performance pieces, like “Love Different” created in collaboration with Desigual showcased during last year’s Art Basel Miami. It represents an extension of her creative career. Even if moved by the same aims and concepts Carlota decided to incorporate performance into her work as a complementing element to her images. For her, it is something that goes beyond documenting choreographies, it is now a way to reflect “what is happening in real-life”.

This incorporation of work has also been one of the hardest challenges for Carlota, as in the case of Art Basel Miami. A challenge that as she tells us was outweighed by the satisfaction of its success.

“The orgy in Art Basel Miami was a really difficult project because it was very ambitious, but a lovely experience after-all. I connected with everyone involved; they all presented themselves as vulnerable beings in front of a huge audience and I will forever be thankful for how great they were. This was right before the pandemic, so now it feels like a surreal experience as that would be something impossible to achieve these days.”

Having worked with some of the most appreciated artists of our times we wanted to know what it takes to work with Carlota. What does she look for in a possible collaborator and who would her dream collaboration be? But Carlota doesn’t really have a dream collaboration, she just wants to “click” with someone that gets her perspective.

“It is very important for me to click with a collaborator that understands me. It does not matter whether they are a major artist or a young upcoming one. The important thing is to understand the arts and the world in ways that can add to each other’s work.”

However, she did reveal that she looks forward to collaborating again with fellow Spanish artist and good friend Rosalía; “Even though I have collaborated with her before, I would love to work on bigger projects with her in the future.”

Carlota’s career is impressive from any angle you look at it. She creates incredible projects, she manages to transmit a message that’s important to her and the times we live in, she tries to exit from her comfort zone and experiment with diverse forms of art, and the most impressive part… she built it by herself, learning a complex craft on her own motivated by her ideas.

We cannot imagine what it must have taken for her to succeed, but we did ask her what her opinion on it was. What she thinks is an important characteristic to have, for similar self-taught artists, to succeed in the creative world. And according to the young photographer, it’s all about hard work and the right mindset.

“The most important thing is to be very brave and very persistent. Don’t lose motivation even if you fail because you will learn a lot from that. Wake up every day and try and create, even if you are not sure about what you are creating. Trust the process, trust the energy that is driving you, trust that more than the judge that lives in your head.”

“Don’t lose motivation even if you fail because you will learn a lot from that. Wake up every day and try and create”

Trusting the process is exactly what she did, even in times of crisis like the current ones. The pandemic did not stop Carlota’s creative path, she was “lucky enough to have a space to nurture her art, being both her home and studio”. But she’s not planning to remain in her current studio for much longer, she tells us that she is preparing herself to upgrade it and being able to travel and work internationally again.

“I will be investing a lot of energy in a new studio where I want to go back to personal projects I didn’t have time for before. I hope that photography will take me to a lot of experimentation, meeting new artists, exploring new spaces and creating new communities.”

And we cannot wait to see what these new projects, experimentations and possible collaborations have in store for her creative development and us, as her followers, to look at and learn from.

Look out for the 27th of April, by then you will be able to find Carlota Guerrero’s debut photography book Tengo un Dragón Dentro del Corazón here and have a better look into her work.

Unfashionable but never out-dated or passé. Call him ‘on trend’ and you’ll only offend. ‘Rankin: Unfashionable – 30 Years of Fashion Photography’ shows us why being ‘on fleek’ is for the meek.

The retrospective of Rankin’s fashion imagery is edited by the trail-blazing photographer himself, and drawing upon a catalogue of 30-years of work, is a personal trove of his most provocative imagery.

But why should we strive to be unfashionable? Well to quote Alexander McQueen; “There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.”

There is an irreverent spirit that charges Rankin’s work. Never derivative and never concerned with what’s popular, Unfashionable demonstrates how the photographer, director, and founder of Dazed & Confused was able to stay ahead of the curve.

In my opinion, great photography doesn’t just capture a single moment but the essence of its subject. It achieves what painting was once able to do; it grabs they eye with compelling visuals, yet keeps it with a loaded narrative.

The retrospective gives us a candid look at Rankin’s most iconic portraiture, his ground-breaking fashion editorials and how through his ‘unfashion,’ he dictated fashion. We are given a candid insight to his innovative compositions and allusions.

Above, in Hunger, Erin O’Connor is compelling as sartorial siren, seducing the sailors of the River Rhine.

Below, Rankin breaks moulds by taking the figure of an odalisque from the annals of art history, and replaces her with an aged, un-retouched model.

Into the Mist shows us a Snow Queen with a sharp Vidal Sassoon bob, who dares to challenge the viewer’s gaze with an icicle stare.

Ultimately, Unfashionable is testament to the fact that true creatives don’t follow trends, but create them. I prescribe the retrospective to not only lovers of fashion photography, but to those who understand that the margins are where new ideas thrive.

Unfashionable: 30 Years of Fashion Photography by Rankin is published by Rizzoli priced at £50.00 and available from all good book stores.
