Gilles Bensimon — photographer who changed modern fashion

It is believed that modern fashion is created by couturiers. But this is not quite true, because their work would not be so bright without photographers and models. Gilles Bensimon — a master of photography who has done no less for the fashion industry than iconic fashion designers. This man literally changed the concept of beauty, showing a new type of woman — open, bold and natural.

Colleagues call Gilles Bensimon a visual optimist. He has the talent to create works filled with life and light, pleasing to the eye and soul. Therefore, since 1967, the photographer has been creating covers for ELLE, MAXIM and other well-known glossy magazines. The success of many well-known publications has a significant share of Bensimon's work, making them as attractive as possible.

Gilles Bensimon is a supporter of minimalism in photography. He believes that the picture should not be overloaded with details that can spoil the most beautiful idea. Therefore, the master's works are always concise and completely devoted to the key figure — the model.

And Bensimon knows a lot about working with models like no one else. At various times, Cindy Crawford, Stephanie Seymour, Elle MacPherson, Christy Tarlington, Charlize Theron, Linda Evangelista, Gisele Bundchen, Alessandra Ambrosio, Heidi Klum, Karlie Kloss, Hailey Bieber got into his lens.

Surprisingly, the images of many supermodels are strongly associated with the works of Bensimon. It can't be otherwise, because the most famous pictures of the podium legends were created by this photographer.
