Fashion photography slipped into a strange, fascinating niche over the past decade, almost without announcing itself, where the photographer no longer waits for a brand brief, a seasonal lookbook, or a PR-approved moodboard. Instead, the photographer works for an influencer—or, more radically, becomes the influencer—using the street as both runway and studio, and style as a long-term narrative rather than a campaign deliverable. It’s subtle at first glance. The images look spontaneous, maybe even accidental: a coat caught mid-swing at a crosswalk, boots half-lit by a storefront at night, a face turning away just as the light hits the cheekbone.
