Description

A complete reference book on contemporary Italian fashion photography This project is born from the will to celebrate Italian fashion photography and begins the first phase in selecting and cataloging of professionals over a time period of two years. The intent of this work is to bring togeather the relevant professionals in the sector in a paper based archive which will become a consultation tool for agencies, creative studios and those passionate about the sector. From the point of view of selected photographers, the publication becomes an additional support for their promotion and visibility. "The photo archive" is the visual concept of this publication, which is notable from the typografic composition (simple and technical), the clean and serial layout (it gives relevance to the photographs) and from the alphabetic division (which reminds and recalls the abecedary and from where the title took inspiration).
