Research

In order to see what the standard of work in this genre is like I have got a new book to help me with my research. Free postage and and a price reduction from Amazon make this book a bargain buy as it features work by well-known photographers and designers in the area of latex fashion.

According to Amazon, this book is  ... "A stunning collection of images featuring latex fashion from some of the most interesting and cutting-edge international labels and drawing on the trendy, the fashionable and the erotic. More than 60 photographers have teamed up to portray the unique creations and clothes of designers such as Atsuko Kudo (designer for Lady Gaga, Eva Mendes, Kate Moss and more) and Berlin label Très Bonjour (designer for Katy Perry)."

As well as featuring a range of stunning inspirational images, this book also provides a directory featuring numerous photographers, latex designers and outlets complete with links to their website. This has been very useful for looking at the work of other practitioners and for determining the current standard in this genre. The book also features the work of Julian Kilsby, who I was lucky enough to have a lighting workshop with at the start of the semester.
