MARCUS MASCHWITZ


For my chosen fashion photographer. I have decided to step away from the more 'iconic' fashion photographers and look at photographers that have worked with the clothing lines I wear. I chose South African photographer Marcus Maschwitz who started work in the UK 10 years ago when commisioned by clothing company, OBEY. Marcus is most known for his use of ring flash and studio flash that is used on location and since working with OBEY has become the main photographer for skating based clothing lines such as Impericom, Criminal Damage, VANS and a whole range of underground clothing lines. The main reason I chose Marcus is that I like the vibrancy in his images and it reflects the use of pinup , 40s/50s models rather than the more generic fashion models- almost a representation of the uniqueness and originality of the clothing lines.
