Masters of Photography - Rankin Edition

Description- Waddell attended Thirsk School and Sixth Form College. Whilst studying accounting at Brighton Polytechnic, he realised that his interests lay elsewhere and dropped out, taking up the study of photography at Barnfield College Luton and then London College of Printing. During this time, Rankin met Jefferson Hack, with whom he formed a working relationship. In 1992 the two decided to start a magazine together called Dazed & Confused.[1] In December 2000 Rankin launched his own quarterly fashion magazine, Rank. He also publishes Another Magazine, Another Man and more recently Hunger, a website and biannual fashion and lifestyle magazine.[1] In addition, Rankin has donated his services to publicity campaigns for the charitable organisation Women's Aid, providing photographs for use in the What's it going to take? and Valentine's Day campaigns.[citation needed] In April 2009 Rankin created Annroy, a contemporary structure designed by Trevor Horne Architects that is home to Rankin’s own photographic studio, gallery and living space, where he lives with his wife and model Tuuli Shipster.[citation needed] Each month Annroy holds a different exhibition, which features some of Rankin’s current work.[citation needed] In 2002, Rankin was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by The Royal Photographic Society.[citation needed] In January 2014, BBC 4 broadcast his 1 hour documentary Seven Photographs that Changed Fashion, in which he created his own tributes to images by Cecil Beaton, Erwin Blumenfeld, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, David Bailey and Guy Bourdin. He interviewed an array of original photographers, models and assistants, and used contemporary models including Heidi Klum, Erin O'Connor, Jade Parfitt, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Tuuli Shipster, Mollie Gondi, Daphne Guinness and David Gandy.[2] In 2010, Rankin travelled to South Africa with the BBC to shoot the documentary, South Africa in Pictures[3] The same year, Rankin was commissioned by Nike and Bono’s Product Red in the fight against HIV/AIDS, to shoot a global Nike campaign, Lace Up Save Lives, to raise awareness about the disease.[citation needed] Rankin was involved with television reality show Britain's Missing Top Model.[citation needed] The show followed eight young women with disabilities who competed for a modeling contract, which includes a photo shoot with Rankin and a cover photo in Marie Claire. Rankin has shot for Germany's Next Topmodel, where he was a guest judge,[citation needed] and regularly works with the winner of Cycle 2 of Britains Next Top Model Lianna Fowler.[citation needed] In 2011 Rankin served as the photography teacher in the Channel 4 series Jamie's Dream School featuring Jamie Oliver.[citation needed] He also presented the BBC Four documentary America in Pictures - The Story of Life Magazine.[citation needed] In May 2012 it was confirmed that Rankin would be re-shooting Azealia Banks's music video for her single "Liquorice".[4] In February 2011, Rankin expressed the opinion that "in America the Jewish zealots are so powerful. Especially in the entertainment industry." [5] After this was reported, Rankin said "of course this is not my official position and I apologise wholeheartedly for my use of language and any offence this may have caused.

Behind the Scenes with Fitness Photographer Robert Randall Productions

Description- After graduating from high school, Randall worked in the photography studios of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and is reported to have appeared as an extra in some of the films of John Ford.[4][5][a] During the Second World War he served as a US Navy photographer, and was trained by Life magazine to take combat pictures.[7] He attained the rank of Photographer's Mate 1st Class Petty Officer.[1][8] After the war, he moved to Paris, France, where he secured a job at Condé Nast, publisher of Vogue magazine, with whom he was employed for seven years. In the early 1950s, he became noted for his fashion photography for the French edition of Vogue. His Los Angeles Times obituary would later remark that "photographing his models in the back streets of war-torn Paris, against centuries-old facades, Randall brought a new look to high fashion and created celebrities of the models."[4] After seven years in Paris, he returned to the United States[9][10] and was based in New York City for 15 years, where he had his own studio on Park Avenue.[7] In 1968, he moved from New York to Laguna Beach, California, where he worked on a semi-retired basis.[11][7] In the 1970s, exhibitions of his work were held at the Edward-Dean Museum of Decorative Arts and the Laguna Beach Museum of Art.[12][13] According to newspaper interviews at the time, he was preparing a book of photographs of Laguna residents;[11][7] however, it appears this projected work was never published.[b] In 1975, he started teaching photography courses through the University of California, Irvine, and at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa.[4] In 1977, the Los Angeles Times wrote that "Randall probably took more pictures of celebrities before they became celebrities than just about anybody." His subjects included Brigitte Bardot, Pablo Picasso, Bernard Buffet, Jane Fonda, and Lauren Hutton. He photographed Ali MacGraw and Lynda Day George for Seventeen magazine.[7][9] His fashion and advertising work also appeared in Glamour, Look, Good Housekeeping, Harper's Bazaar, and Cosmopolitan.[4] In 1984, Prentice-Hall published his book Fashion Photography: A Guide for the Beginner

LA-based photographer Melanie Pullen styles her images based on 1950's forensic photos. Short profile on life and photography on Pullen.

Description- Pullen is inspired by geometry, and she loves lines and symmetry.[4] She is most noted for High Fashion Crime Scenes which consists of over one-hundred photographs based on NYPD and LAPD crime scene files.[5] Pullen's monograph High Fashion Crime Scenes received critical acclaim from Spin.[6] To create High Fashion Crime Scenes (1995–2005), Pullen employed the services of up to 80 crew members and models per picture, with each image taking up to a month to create, and the series using over $13 million worth of clothing and accessories.[5][7] Her photo shoots often resemble movie sets. High Fashion Crime Scenes in particular was inspired by cinema and photojournalism.[8] During her research into crime-scene photography, Pullen became haunted by war imagery. Pullen states, "As I grew desensitized to domestic crime and violence, I became more sensitized to images of war. It was a strange phenomenon that I've explored and philosophized. I don't like violence, I have never been a dark person. I see stories and different layers to violent imagery. I'm curious about the response people have to violent images." [4] This became Pullen's inspiration for Violent Times, her more recent body of work and most elaborate series to date

23 Rare Photographs of Marilyn Monroe During the Hat Sitting, 1958

Description- Perutz started taking photos in his teens in the 1930s. Fashion photography by him featured in Vogue as early as 1940[1] He joined the U.S. Army shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and served in the American Eighth Air Force as a reconnaissance photographer, flying in a B17 over North Africa, France and Germany. In the rank of Captain to which he rose in 1945, he worked on the ground behind enemy lines. Paris (1946-52)[edit] He moved to Paris after the War and from there filed reports for Popular Photography magazine,[2] and his correspondences indicate that he was using colour quite early for the work he undertook there from 1946 photographing fashion, writers, artists and stage and screen actors.[3][4] In their September 29, 1947 issue LIFE magazine published his atmospheric picture of Juliette Gréco wearing men’s trousers at Le Tabou.[5] His unusually candid shot of fashion models - one smiling broadly at his camera - parading British designer Charles James’ gowns at the candlelit haute couture soirée at Plaza Athénée in Paris, was made on July 1947.[6] Magnum[edit] He shared an apartment in Paris with photojournalist Robert Capa (1913-54) who with Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David Seymour was forming the Magnum agency (1947). Though he stamped ‘Magnum’ on his prints made in Paris (1947–52) and in New York (1952-58), and was credited as "Carl Perutz, Magnum" in issues of LIFE magazine into the 1950s,[7][8] the agency does not recognise him as one of their official photographers and he does not appear in searches of their current website. Nevertheless, he is mentioned as ‘another member of Magnum” in a caption to his 1950 photograph of Robert Capa by Gael Elton Mayo,[9] and by Cornell Capa (1918-2008), Robert’s younger brother, and by Inge Morath (1923-2002). New York (1952-58)[edit] Returning to America, Perutz worked for a variety of corporate[10] and magazine clients. John G. Morris describes how he selected Perutz for stories on film and theatre because "he had been virtually born in the theatre".[11] While his famous subjects included Helen Keller, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Durante, Roland Petit and other celebrities, it is for his photographs of Marilyn Monroe that Perutz is becoming best remembered. On June 16, 1958, shortly before the movie star flew out to Hollywood to film Some Like It Hot, Perutz was contracted by the Hearst Corporation to conduct a photo-shoot with Monroe for their 1958 cover-story, “Milady’s Easter Bonnet” in The American Weekly Sunday supplement, for which six leading milliners to provided a hat for six well-known women; Monroe along with Kathy Grant Crosby, Lucille Ball, Elsa Maxwell, Eleanor Roosevelt and Mamie Eisenhower, wife of the President. Perutz shot about sixty frames during this session in which Monroe wore several hats from Northridge’s salon, including a black unblocked felt hat worn low over one eye and the frame chosen for publication shows Marilyn wearing a white, floppy hat. Silver gelatin prints were produced, and some bought by Monroe herself, although in publication the photographs were replaced with illustrations by Jon Whitcomb (1906–88) using Carl’s work as reference. The photograph itself features on the cover of Marilyn in fashion : the enduring influence of Marilyn Monoroe

Expo - Irving Penn

Description- Irving Penn est un photographe américain né le 16 juin 1917 à Plainfield dans le New Jersey. Il étudie au Pennsylvania Museum & School of Industrial Art de 1934 à 1938. Il étudie le design au côté d’Alexey Brodovitch, un émigré russe, directeur artistique au Harper’s Bazaar et travaille comme son assistant lorsque ce dernier travaille pour Saks Fifth Avenue3. Il achète son premier appareil photo en 1938, un Rolleiflex, avec de l’argent obtenu suite à des publications de dessins dans le magazine du Harper’s Bazaar. La même année, et jusqu’en 1941, il travaille en tant que directeur artistique pour le magazine Junior League. En 1941, il se rend au Mexique pour peindre, mais étant déçu de sa production, il la détruisit puis retourna à New York un an plus tard. A son retour à New York, il est embauché par le directeur artistique de Vogue, Alexander Liberman. C’est là qu’il fit sa première photographie en couleur ; il s’agit d’une nature morte qui devint la couverture du magazine du 1er octobre 1943. Irving Penn considère ce tournant comme le début de sa carrière en tant que photographe professionnel. De 1944 à 1945, il quitte Vogue pour servir comme bénévole dans l’American Field Service, avant de revenir au magazine, en 1946, où il entreprend alors de longues séries de portraits de personnalités de l’époque. En 1948, il voyage dans de nombreux pays pour le magazine, la France, l’Italie, l’Espagne et le Pérou. De 1949 à 1950, il réalise sa première série de nus. En 1950, Alexander Liberman l'envoie à Paris pour assister aux « collections » des couturiers parisiens. Il se sent mal à l'aise au milieu de la foule des photographes et des rédacteurs qui se pressent dans ces rendez-vous mondains. Il préfère travailler au calme, dans un studio en éclairage naturel. Il installe un atelier dans un ancien bâtiment de la rue de Vaugirard, sans eau courante ni électricité, dans lequel il fait poser les mannequins devant un rideau de théâtre en guise de fond neutre. Il y réalise de nombreuses photographies de mode, mettant notamment en scène le modèle suédois Lisa Fonssagrives, une ancienne danseuse douée d’un grand sens de la pose, qui l'a accompagné depuis New York. Leur complicité, que l'on peut percevoir dans le regard de la jeune femme, donne naissance à une suite d'images remarquables, qui paraissent dans Vogue, dans les numéros de septembre et octobre 1950, et asseoient sa notoriété comme photographe de mode. Peu après, Lisa Fonssagrives deviendra sa femme. En 1951, il achève sa série des petits métiers, série emblématique de son travail, dans laquelle il a photographié des travailleurs avec les attributs liés à leur métier, en studio. Il a fait trois séries de petits métiers, une à Paris, une à Londres et une à New York. En 1952, il déplace son studio au 80 West 40th Street, et commence la publicité en plus de son travail éditorial. Cette même année, il a un fils, Tom. Il publie son premier livre, Moments Preserved, en 1960, tout en continuant la photographie de mode pour Vogue, pour lequel il voyage en Crète et au Japon. Il tente des expériences pour développer une méthode assez complexe de développement au platine et au palladium. En 1967, Irving Penn construit un studio portable à l’aide d’une tente pour pouvoir photographier en studio pendant ses voyages. Il entreprend une série de voyages, au Bénin, au Népal, au Cameroun, en Nouvelle-Guinée et au Maroc. Dans les années 1970, il réalise ses série Cigarettes, Street Material et Archéologie. Dans les dernières années de sa vie, Irving Penn offre successivement son oeuvre à de grandes institutions tout en continuant à photographier et à être publié dans Vogue. Il meurt chez lui à l'âge de 92 ans en 2009.

Inside the lost photos of Gordon Parks

Description- Photography[edit] At the age of 25, Parks was struck by photographs of migrant workers in a magazine. He bought his first camera, a Voigtländer Brillant, for $7.50 at a Seattle, Washington, pawnshop[16] and taught himself how to take photos. The photography clerks who developed Parks's first roll of film applauded his work and prompted him to seek a fashion assignment at a women's clothing store in St. Paul, Minnesota, owned by Frank Murphy. Those photographs caught the eye of Marva Louis, wife of heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis. She encouraged Parks and his wife, Sally Alvis, to move to Chicago in 1940,[17] where he began a portrait business and specialized in photographs of society women. Parks's photographic work in Chicago, especially in capturing the myriad experiences of African Americans across the city, led him to receive the Julius Rosenwald Fellowship, in 1941, paying him $200 a month and offering him his choice of employer,[18] which, in turn, contributed to being asked to join the Farm Security Administration, which was chronicling the nation's social conditions,[19] under the auspice of Roy Stryker.[12][20] Government photography[edit] Over the next few years, Parks moved from job to job, developing a freelance portrait and fashion photographer sideline. He began to chronicle the city's South Side black ghetto and, in 1941, an exhibition of those photographs won Parks a photography fellowship with the Farm Security Administration (FSA).[12] American Gothic, Washington, D.C. – a well-known photograph by Parks Working at the FSA as a trainee under Roy Stryker,[5][12] Parks created one of his best-known photographs, American Gothic, Washington, D.C.,[21] named after the iconic Grant Wood painting, American Gothic—a legendary painting of a traditional, stoic, white American farm couple—which bore a striking, but ironic, resemblance to Parks' photograph of a black menial laborer. Parks' "haunting" photograph shows a black woman, Ella Watson, who worked on the cleaning crew of the FSA building, standing stiffly in front of an American flag hanging on the wall, a broom in one hand and a mop in the background. Parks had been inspired to create the image after encountering racism repeatedly in restaurants and shops in the segregated capital city.[22] A later photograph in the FSA series, by Parks, shows Ella Watson and her family Upon viewing the photograph, Stryker said that it was an indictment of America, and that it could get all of his photographers fired.[23] He urged Parks to keep working with Watson, which led to a series of photographs of her daily life. Parks said later that his first image was overdone and not subtle; other commentators have argued that it drew strength from its polemical nature and its duality of victim and survivor, and thus affected far more people than his subsequent pictures of Mrs. Watson.[24] (Parks' overall body of work for the federal government—using his camera "as a weapon"—would draw far more attention from contemporaries and historians than that of all other black photographers in federal service at the time. Today, most historians reviewing federally commissioned black photographers of that era focus almost exclusively on Parks.)[22] After the FSA disbanded, Parks remained in Washington, D.C. as a correspondent with the Office of War Information,[12][25] where he photographed the all-black 332d Fighter Group.[26] He was unable to follow the group in the overseas war theatre, so he resigned from the O.W.I.[27] He would later follow Stryker to the Standard Oil Photography Project in New Jersey, which assigned photographers to take pictures of small towns and industrial centers. The most striking work by Parks during that period included, Dinner Time at Mr. Hercules Brown's Home, Somerville, Maine (1944); Grease Plant Worker, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (1946); Car Loaded with Furniture on Highway (1945); Self Portrait (1945); and Ferry Commuters, Staten Island, N.Y. (1946).

Norman Parkinson Vintage Photography

Description- Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, Norman Parkinson est envoyé avec sa sœur dans une ferme d'Oxfordshire1. Par la suite, Il fait des études à la Westminster School, développant un goût pour l'art1. En 1931, il intègre pour un apprentissage un studio photo de New Bond Street spécialisé en portraits de jeunes filles, Speaight & Sons2, d'où il est renvoyé après deux ans1. En 1934, il fonde son propre studio de portraits3 avec Norman Kibblewhite. À partir de ce moment-là, il travaille pour de nombreux magazines tels que Life, ou le British Vogue2 plus tard, et réalise ses toutes premières photographies en extérieur pour l'édition anglaise d'Harper's Bazaar dès 19354 avec laquelle il collabore durant cinq ans3. En parallèle, il s'intéresse à l'agriculture2 et se marie à Margaret Banks. Il réalise des images pour le service de recrutement de l'armée britannique, ainsi que des photographies de reportage pour le tabloïd Bystander (en)3,1. Au tout début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, son studio de Londres est bombardé1. Norman Parkinson divorce en 1940 puis intègre l'équipe des photographes du Vogue anglais l'année suivante4 ; le magazine est alors peu autonome, dépendant pour les photographies de son équivalent américain5,n 2. Il est également photographe dans la Royal Air Force, collabore avec l'ATS, mais aussi fermier2 dans le Worcestershire6. Il se marie de nouveau, avec Thelma Woolley-Blay. Vers la fin de la Guerre, il est publié pour la première fois dans l'édition américaine du Vogue1. La Guerre terminée, il reprend son métier de photographe de mode pour le British Vogue, donnant à la publication une identité distincte de son homologue américain5. Précurseur, il fait sortir les mannequins des studios7 pour les photographier à travers le monde6. Il réalise également de nombreuses photographies pour des agences de publicité françaises, anglaises ou américaines2 ou pour le magazine américain Cosmopolitan. Il épouse Wenda Rogerson qui deviendra son modèle4 et a un fils. Lassé des années d'après-guerre en Angleterre, il écrit à Alexander Liberman en mai 1949 pour lui proposer quelques photos ; celui-ci le recrute rapidement3, il prend l'habitude de se rendre régulièrement à New York pour travailler avec le Vogue local sous la responsabilité d'Edna Woolman Chase4, ainsi que pour le magazine Glamour américain3. Durant les années 1950, il appartient, avec Cecil Beaton et Bill Brandtn 3, au groupe des rares photographes britanniques de mode ayant réellement une envergure internationale4. Pourtant, il dit de lui que « Je suis le plus inconnu des photographes célèbres8 ». Il voyage beaucoup de par le monde5 et photographie les plus grands modèles et mannequins des différentes décennies qu'il traverse, telles Fiona Campbell-Walter, Anne Gunning, Grace Coddington alors débutante dans le mannequinat, ou Celia Hammond (en), Carmen Dell'Orefice plus tard, Jean Shrimpton, puis Iman. De 1960 à 1964, il travaille pour le magazine Queen (en) — qui accorde à l'époque une large part à la photographie — comme photographe et rédacteur en chef adjoint9 ; il y apporte une autre vision originale, voir extravagante, de la photographie de mode9n 4. Entre-temps, il s'installe dans sa ferme de Tobago ou il monte un élevage de cochons11 ce qui lui vaudra le surnom parfois de « photographe fermier »5. À la fin des années 1960, aux côtés de Beatrix Miller (en)n 5, il devient le mentor de Grace Coddington, qui vient de changer de métier, au sein du Vogue britannique11,12 et développe avec elle par la suite le concept de « séquences de styles » consistant à aller prendre pour une même série de photos des vêtements dans différents endroits du monde13. Début 1965, Diana Vreeland, alors chez Vogue, lui commande une série de photos devant être prises à Tahiti : celles-ci seront publiées sur trente-trois pages du magazine1. Il devient le portraitiste de la famille royale d'Angleterre3, remplaçant Cecil Beaton à sa mort. Quelques années après, il prend le statut de photographe indépendant11, retournant fréquemment à Londres.

"Follow Me" - A Tribute to Murad Osmann

Description- Osmann was born in the mountains of Dagestan, Russia. In 1990, when he was five years old, his family moved to Moscow. In 2001, he went to England to pursue a degree in civil engineering at Imperial College London. Osmann told FabWeb, “Photography is about capturing things other people might miss. It is a way to communicate, a way to bring images that I hold in my mind to the surface.”[5] Osmann is best known for the "Follow Me" project that began in Barcelona, Spain in 2011 when his then-girlfriend, Natalia Zakharova,[5] became annoyed each time he kept stopping to take photos. She would pull him away, but he took the photograph anyway, this sparked the "Follow Me" series.[6] According to Osmann, Nataly’s impatience was the inspiration behind what has since become a social media phenomenon. Osman currently has 4.1 million followers on his Instagram account.[7] Originally all #Followmeto photos were made on an iPhone, but recently Osmann is using a DSLR camera to have a wider field of view.[8] On Saturday, 6 June 2015, Osmann and Zakharova got married. The pair had two weddings, one in Moscow and the second one at Murad's birth place in Dagestan.[9] The photographer captured moments from their wedding to include in the "Follow Me" series

Après la guerre, il travaille comme photographe en indépendant, en réalisant des photos de mode ainsi que des travaux pour le magazine Playboy. À la fin des années 1950, il se concentre davantage sur les clichés de mode. Il s'installe à Paris, rue Aubriot, en 1961 et devient un photographe de mode très productif. Il réalise des séries de mode pour de nombreux magazines, en particulier dans Vogue. Son style, parfois d'une subjectivité sensuelle, est marqué par l'érotisme, par des scènes stylisées et, souvent, par une violence sous-jacente. À partir de 1970, sa femme June se lance aussi dans la photographie sous le nom d'Alice Springs. En 1977, le couple s'installe à Paris, rue de l'Abbé-de-l'Épée. À partir de 1981, Helmut Newton réside à Monaco et à Los Angeles. Helmut Newton meurt le 23 janvier 2004 des suites d'un accident de voiture à Hollywood (celle-ci ayant percuté le mur d'un hôtel)1. Selon sa volonté, il est enterré à Berlin. Il repose au cimetière Schöneberg III (Stubenrauchstraße 43-45), près de la tombe de Marlene Dietrich.

Sarah Moon - Nars cosmetics

Description- Marielle Warin naît dans une famille juive contrainte à quitter la France occupée2. Elle rejoint l'Angleterre. Sarah Moon exerce alors la profession de mannequin de 1960 à 1966, puis se tourne vers la photographie à partir de 1970. Elle devient célèbre pour sa campagne de publicité pour Cacharel3. Dans son travail pour la mode, elle a su montrer les femmes sous un angle particulier du fait de sa relation avec les modèles dont elle a partagé l’univers pendant sa jeunesse. Les regards et les attitudes qu’elle a su capturer laissent apparaître dans ses clichés une certaine complicité qui l’a distinguée des hommes dans la photographie de mode. Après quinze ans de travail dans la mode, répondant aux commandes de nombreuses marques telles que le magazine Vogue, les Maisons de couture telles que Chanel ou Dior, la carrière de Sarah Moon prend un tournant lorsque l’artiste décide de se consacrer davantage à une photographie plus personnelle encore, plus introspective et cette fois, purement artistique. Elle « sort » alors des studios de ses mises en scènes pour la mode, et fait de Paris son terrain de jeux, par goût dit-elle, et par « commodité »4, même si la ville n’est jamais réellement le sujet de ses photographies mais bien plus un décor méconnaissable. Ce sera d’ailleurs à cette époque qu’elle adoptera le Polaroïd noir et blanc avec négatif comme support de son expression. Elle est exposée aux Rencontres d'Arles en 1980, 1981, 1994, 2005 et 2006. En 2013 a lieu l'exposition « Alchimies », présentant ses photographies sur le thème de la nature, au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle (Paris)2. Sources d'inspiration[modifier | modifier le code] Pour ce qui est de la photographie, Sarah Moon cite l’œuvre de Guy Bourdin comme étant l’excellence qui lui a le plus donné l’envie de se diriger vers la mode. Cependant, dans ses œuvres postérieures à l'époque de son travail dans la mode, on peut aisément reconnaître son goût pour le cinéma des années trente, notamment le cinéma expressionniste Allemand. Le grain, l’esthétique générale des photographies de Sarah Moon forment une référence constante aux origines du medium (on peut noter, entre autres, un nu datant de 1977, « Nu », rappelant fortement - tant par son cadre que par son rapprochement esthétique vers la peinture et la sculpture – les séries de nus réalisées vers 1854 par Eugène Durieu pour Eugène Delacroix).

#vanityfair #dior #jeanbaptistemondino "Dior, le temps retrouvé" for Vanity Fair at Dior

Description- Jean-Baptiste Mondino est un photographe reconnu, sollicité par les magazines de mode pour réaliser leurs couvertures et séries de mode, et la presse généraliste qui publie ses photographies des personnalités : artistes dont il réalise des vidéo-clips, tout comme des acteurs et artistes. Il travaille également avec de nombreuses marques dont il crée les visuels de campagnes publicitaires ainsi qu'avec des labels de disques qui lui confient la réalisation des pochettes de disques et des photographies promotionnelles. Le parcours prolifique de Jean-Baptiste Mondino est un parcours atypique dans le monde de la photographie de mode9. Il n'a associé son nom ni à un magazine, ni à une marque et il publie ses photographies, au fil des décennies, sans distinction, dans des magazines « incontournables » comme Vogue et la presse innovante ou encore masculine (Glamour10, Jalouse11,Têtu). « Je n'aime pas la photo. Ce que j'aime, c'est être dans le service, j'aurais pu être steward » - déclare-t-il2. Mode & publicité[modifier | modifier le code] Au tournant des années 1980 et 1990, Mondino met en image les créations du styliste Lionel Cros dont il partage l'univers et l'aspiration à sortir la représentation de la sexualité, féminine en particulier, des bas-fonds de la pornographie. Après avoir utilisé les créations du styliste dans Tandem de Vanessa Paradis, il les photographie dans les séries de mode pour Elle : « Vinyl la folie » (mars 199012) et « À La Maniere De Nijinski » (juin 1991). En 2000, il réalise la campagne publicitaire de la marque Morgan13. Il fait partie des photographes ayant réalisé un calendrier de la marque italienne de café Lavazza (édition 2003)14. En 2012, il photographie Carla Bruni-Sarkozy qui renoue avec son métier de mannequin pour la publicité de la marque Parrot. Personnalités[modifier | modifier le code] Dans les années 1990, les images produites par Jean-Baptiste Mondino dans le cadre de ses collaboration avec des magazines français, par exemple de Vanessa Paradis pour Glamour, ont fait objet de reproductions et d'analyses, tant elles bouleversaient non seulement les codes de la photographie de mode mais aussi l'image des artistes-modèles et au-delà de la féminité (American Photo, 199710). De nombreux journaux et magazines font appel à Jean-Baptiste Mondino pour photographier les personnalités auxquelles ils consacrent des articles. Des portraits sur mesure, dialogue entre le modèle et l'artiste, comme lors de la session photo avec Béatrice Dalle pour Libération15 : « Elle se tortille quand le photographe Jean-Baptiste Mondino lui explique qu’il veut faire quelque chose d’absolument singulier avec elle, la non-actrice d’il y a vingt ans à qui le caractère ombrageux promettait une carrière de météore, et qui, après des dizaines de films d’une exigence absolue, s’est peu à peu imposée comme l’ACTRICE. Celle qui nous intéresse justement parce qu’elle ne joue pas à l’être. Elle baisse les yeux, que répondre à ça, elle semble heureuse du compliment, un peu gênée aussi d’en être heureuse. Avec Mondino ils font les cons, et elle qui déteste tant les séances photos approuve l’idée d’une série de portraits serrés, à peine changeants, comme une variation sur le même thème d’une Dalle qui n’a plus le corps d’avant mais s’en accommode comme il faut – l’important c’est cette gueule. »
