1 Like a number of other eminent practitioners at that time, Talbot was an émigré artist who brought the influence of European modernism to Australian photography. He worked for designers and manufacturers, department stores and boutiques, as well as on the job for the Australian Wool Bureau. Following the high-glamour fashion photography of the 1950s, studios in the 1960s increasingly started working on location, rather than in the studio, to create images with a fresh, contemporary edge.Īlthough Henry Talbot began working in fashion photography in the 1950s, it was in the 1960s that he established himself as a leading force in Melbourne's fashion industry. The fashions of the day, including miniskirts and hipster pants, reflected the 'youthquake' that was shaking up the status quo in Australia and internationally. In Australia, it was a time of prosperity: employment rates were high and, for many, the opportunities must have seemed boundless. The 1960s was a period of social turbulence when youth-led movements changed the world. It can be an index to culture and society, to people's aspirations, limitations and taste. At its simplest, a fashion photograph is an image whose principal function is to show, and sell, clothing however, fashion photography is not only about the clothes but also about the conventions and the attitudes of the people who wear them. It is an illusion created with flattering garments and beautiful models. What is fashion photography? Fashion photography is generally an ideal, not a reality.
