in the presence of the artist | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | © Sheila Rock 'RAINCOATS' for Tempo Magazine, 1986 | | | | | | "Fashion evokes a transient universe of stylishness and fantasy . Like the floating world in Japan, my photographs offer a sensory provocation that is forever changing." Sheila Rock
Like the fashion world, fashion photography is diverse and reinvents itself again and again, by expressing poetry and coolness, glamor and provocation.
Sheila Rock, an internationally famous and multi-talented photographer, has had solo exhibitions all over the world. Her personal work is in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London. | | | | | | | | | | © Sheila Rock 'Queen of the Hearts', 1980s | | | | | | Sheila Rock moved to the United Kingdom from America in 1970 and has evolved though a series of successful photographic careers. First, she was one of the primary documenters of the punk era, and after that she became a successful commercial and celebrity photographer. She first worked for the cutting-edge British magazine 'THE FACE', which brought her commercial fame and opened many doors. She has contributed her fashion photographs and celebrity portraits to German Vogue, Elle, Glamour, TEMPO, Architectural Digest, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph Magazine, Time Magazine and Rolling Stone. Naomi Campbell, Brooke Shields and Nastassja Kinski are just a few of the more famous models she has beautifully captured in this floating world of fashion.
Known for having a very sensitive eye, in her pictures she captures the innocence, elegance and the raw essence of her subjects. One might even say she brings out their deepest transcendental nature. | | | | | | | | | | © Sheila Rock 'YUKIHIRO TAKAHASHI YMO', London 1981 | | | | | | unsubscribe here
