The process that occurs between a fashion photograph's initial conception and the time when the image appears in a glossy magazine — from dealing with fractious models to shooting in bizarre and often treacherous locations — is a fraught and fascinating one. This exhibition turns the spotlight away from the models and onto the people behind the camera, exposing the industry's less glamorous aspects. The world's most famous photogs are all accounted for here, from US trailblazers Irving Penn and Richard Avedon to British luminaries Terence Donovan and Nick Knight.
