Corinne Day 1962-2010

I was sad to read last night that Corinne Day passed away late August of this year. Day, famous for her nineties photographs of London 'It' girls depicting a grimy sense of realism that was more documentary like than other fashion images at the time. Supermodel Kate Moss became a close friend of Day's and appeared as the subject in many of her portraits. I love the realness of her photos and the un-staged postures of her models, they all feel so natural. Day definitely had a huge influence on the style of photography in the nineties. I think my next purchase is going to be a book of her work.
