Fashion photography as art a new thing? I’m looking at “Imperfect Beauty” by Charlotte Cotton which was published by the Victoria and Albert museum to coincide with an exhibition of fashion photography in 2000.
I don’t think fashion photography as art is anything new, but it is perhaps coming to the mainstream media’s notice as prices for prints go up. After all, ripping pages out of magazines and putting them on walls doesn’t really count as collecting art right? It’s only art when someone pays for it?

This probably makes me a bad person, but all six parts of The Genius of Photography are available as torrents, in very high-res MP4 (about 700 megs each) from here:

The link would help, I assume.
