William Klein

By call of Alexander Liberman, Klein started to work for Vogue, but before then he was artist of painting and sculpture and writer. His book "Life is good for you in NY" talks about the tough life with ironic crude,
aggressive and vulgar point of view.
From 1955 to 1965 Klein worked for vogue. he preferred to photograph his models out in the street or on location.
He was not particularly interested in fashion. He used this opportunity to reasearch the picture making process by introducing new techniques to fashion photography,making fashion an area of innovation in
photography.
"I hated fashion world, I hated fashion people exepct the girls" said him.
His step was out of trend, he's works was considered revolutionary for being "ambivalent and ironic approach to the world of fashion."
