尤金·"吉恩"·维尼尔（1920–2011）在1954至1967年间担任英国《Vogue》时尚摄影师，亲历了时装史上最激动人心的黄金时期。他掌镜拍摄过克里斯汀·迪奥、埃米利奥·璞琪等当季潮流设计，以及西莉亚·哈蒙德、简·诗琳普顿等顶级超模，现任《Vogue》创意总监格蕾丝·柯丁顿亦曾现身其镜头。然而这位艺术家对名利场始终疏离——他唯一专注的是让每帧画面臻于至善，堪称时尚摄影界的真正匠人。

这本华丽图册从《Vogue》浩瀚影像档案中精选维尼尔本人最钟爱的百余幅作品，展现其在道具运用、背景营造与外景选取方面的非凡创意。无论是海滨取景、与犬伴嬉戏，还是优雅倚坐淡粉色敞篷车的瞬间，维尼尔的精妙构图总能升华拍摄对象的神韵。他主要采用黑白摄影，其标志性风格诠释着经典女性气质。维尼尔力求捕捉模特最松弛的状态：当她们沉浸时装之美，并确信摄影师必将展现其最佳风貌时。时尚史专家贝基·E·科内金与《Vogue》历史学家罗宾·缪尔共同为这些影像撰写了评注。

作为首部聚焦维尼尔《Vogue》生涯的专著，本书让读者得以窥见其独树一帜的艺术特质——精湛技艺与实验精神的完美融合。

 

Eugene ‘Gene’ Vernier (1920–2011) worked as a fashion photographer for British Vogue  from 1954 to 1967, during one of the most exciting periods in fashion history. Shooting of-the-moment looks from the likes of Christian Dior and Emilio Pucci and top models including Celia Hammond, Jean Shrimpton, and current Vogue creative director Grace Coddington, Vernier worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. Yet he was relatively unconcerned with celebrity. Interested only in bringing out the very best in each frame, Vernier was a true craftsman in the fashion photography trade.

Featuring more than one hundred of Vernier’s own favorite photographs drawn from Vogue’s extensive photo archive, this lavishly illustrated volume reveals remarkable innovation in the use of props, backdrops, and location. Whether he was photographing his subjects by the sea, with a canine companion, or perfectly positioned atop a pale pink convertible, Vernier’s careful composition enhanced the essence of his subject. Vernier shot mostly in black-and-white, and his trademark “look” is one of classic femininity. He sought to capture models when they were relaxed, enjoying the clothing, and confident that their photographer would show both only at their best. Providing commentary on the photographs are fashion history expert Becky E. Conekin and Vogue historian Robin Muir.

This is first book to focus on Vernier’s work at Vogue and it allows readers a rare glimpse of his inimitable blend of technical excellence and an eye for experimentation.
