4.0 out of 5 stars Technically perfect, artistically exciting, February 27, 2000

This review is from: Fashion Images De Mode No. 4 (Hardcover)

I bought this book because of the cover, and fortunately the content does not disappoint as well.

The images within this book are all technically perfect, so it also serves as a great learning tool for myself as a fashion/editorial photographer. It gives me inspiration and definitely shows me what CAN be done with the camera. The photographers featured in this book are mostly quite well-known with only a few exceptions and some of their ideas can make you wonder 'how on earth did he/she think of THAT?'. I recommend this book. A delightful tea time reading.

This review is from: Fashion Images De Mode No. 5 (Hardcover)

I received this book for my 17th birthday. I am a budding photographer and I hope to become involved in the fashion industry when I leave school. This book is fantastic. The images as well as the style of the photgographers was diverse and interesting. Photographers featured include David LaChapelle, Mario Testino and Nick Knight. I loved it and I would really recommend this book to anyone.

This review is from: Fashion Images De Mode No. 4 (Hardcover)

well, it's their forth. good enough for people who don't read magazines at all, it gethers a lot of so-call contemporary fashion photos in a book for a good coffee-table vaule, but i think it's only "so-call contemporary", for something more contemporary, try "dazed/confused"
