Mark Borthwick--I had to post him!


THE fashion photographer Mark Borthwick, whose images have appeared in provocative magazines like Purple, Self Service and Italian Vogue, has always had an unorthodox approach to his work.
“I like to take the fashion out it,” he said. “And make it more human.” Which is to say, he eschews airbrushed glamour for a kind of carefree, sun-soaked innocence; not surprisingly, his new book, aptly titled “Not in Fashion,” is more akin to a journal than a glossy Rizzoli monograph.
It features photos that span his two-decade career, including early fashion shots of a baby-faced Chloë Sevigny (left) and Angela Lindvall (slide 3).
The pages are littered with newspaper clippings, hand-scrawled notes and family photos intentionally blown out by overexposing the film.
