Richard Avedon (May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004) was an American fashion and portrait photographer. An obituary published in The New York Times said that "his fashion and portrait photographs helped define America's image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century."

Irving Penn (June 16, 1917 – October 7, 2009) was an American photographer most known for his fashion photography, portraits, and still lifes. Penn's career included work at Vogue magazine, and independent advertising work for clients including Issey Miyake, and Clinique. His work has been exhibited internationally, and continues to inform the art of photography even after his death.
Penn experimented with many printing techniques, including prints made on aluminum sheets coated with a platinum emulsion rendering the image with a warmth and maturity that untoned silver prints lacked. His black and white prints are notable for their deep contrast, giving them a clean, crisp feel.

Analog fashion photographers through the 20th century who's work caught my eye when researching. They are well known photographers both have similar styles using heavy contrast of black and white and produce portraits. When seeing them I was inspired and thought I might like to brand or exhibit an analog photographers work rather than the cameras themselves. I think this would allow me to focus on my layout and type skills as well my publication, editorial and branding skills.
