Steven Klein started his career as a painter, but in the early 1990s, he branched off into photography while in Paris. He then moved to New York where he continues to live and work. He has found success as a fashion photographer through his in depth narratives. His pictures are strong and dramatic, depicting a wide array of subject matter. He has worked editorially for magazines such as W and Vogue. Also, he has headed ad campaigns for companies such as Dolce and Gabbana, D Squared, and Guess. Due to his acclaim as a photographer, he has been able to branch out into video installations and publish a number of books. His imagery has the sophistication and has that regal flair that I am looking for with my project. According to his artist statement, he says that his work has no psychological undertones, that he wants his art to be a result of his time spent with the subjects he works with. He starts with an idea then lets his creativity flow through the connection he feels once they work.
