Corinne Day 1965 - 2010
photos posted taken by Corinne Day
Corinne, a self-taught photographer, first became known in 1990 for the images she published in her book The Face of Kate Moss. The series of photographs launched what came to be known as 'grunge' style.
Glamorous images dominated fashion photography during the 1980's, Day's work was more informal, confrontational and confessional. Unconventional and sometimes androgynous models were her choice. This was in contrast to the gender of stereotyping found in the mainstream media and magazines.
Corinne Day made an impressive contribution to the world of fashion photography in the early 1990's. She was one of the pioneers of a candid and hard-hitting style.
Plus, with her photo shoot of Kate Moss in the Indian Headdress and birkenstocks, a huge increase in the sales of the birkenstock shoe followed. Oh the power of a photograph!
