Corinne Day ..

In a group meeting we had it was decided that we were going to look at the photographer Corinne Day for inspiration for our shoot.

A bit about her ..
Corinne Day is a self-taught British photogapher who is quite famously known for taking the first model shoots of Kate Moss in 1993. She also created the 'waif' look.



Clients:
Most of her work today can be found in British, Italian and Japenese Vogue. She also does work for Face magazine.

Career History:
Corinne is known for developing long-term relationships with all of her models as she feels it produces better imagery if the model feels comfortable with the photgrapher. She has now produced a book called 'Diary' which is about all of her friends i think. I'm trying to find out more about that but it's seems hard to research.

Style:
She started out shooting the Grunge look but grew into a more international style as her work got more publicity. She is against the use of airbrushing in her photos which is a shame as for this project we will be using Photoshop to adapt some of our images.

Personal History:
Corinne day was born in 1965. Her parents split when she was young sp she grew up with her grandparents and brother. She is said to have had a happy and idealic childhood. Before she was a photographer Corinne was a international glamour model and made quite a sucess out of it but in the end found it wasn't for her. She also developed a brain tumor somewhere along the lines but I'm not quite sure on the dates but she survived and is healthy now.

That is just a little bit of info I found on Corinne Day.
