Fashion Photography by Erwin Blumenfeld

Erwin Blumenfeld (1897 – 1969) was a famous American photographer of German origin. His personal work is more in black and white; his commercial work in fashion, much for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, is mostly in color. In both media he was a great innovator. In black and white he did all his work personally in the dark room. In color he drew on his extensive background in classical and modern painting.
