Photographer Greg Kessler captures models backstage as they arrive at fashion shows,he has created a photo series called Model Morphosis which shows models before and after makeup. Greg Kessler captures with these shots the transformations of the model but also the transformation of the identity of the person and her look. For his series he shot backstage at shows of various fashion designers. This repeat of faces and transformations, is one of the aspects which turns the Model Morphosis series also into a very interesting and inspiring conceptual model.
A part of the series has been posted on the T Magazine blog, the style magazine of the New York Times. Instead of a side-by-side placement, there is a flash sliding bar that you move over the photo to reveal the full transformation.
Find the Model Morphosis flash slider series on the NY Times Style Magazine here .

An already older but still interesting video interview with photographer Juergen Teller for TateShots, the Youtube channel of the Tate Modern Art gallery.
Juergen Teller turned his lens on the fashion industry with his Go-Sees series. Weary of the hype generated by model agencies desperate to sell him the ‘next big thing’, he decided to take the picture of every girl that came to see him on the doorstep of his studio. In this interview, Teller tells Tateshots how the resulting photographs expose the troubling power of the male photographer.

Knight will also shoot 100 portraits of London’s ‘beau monde’; models, actors, musicians and artists – and will show a programme of new Fashion Films, specially commissioned by Showstudio for Fashion Revolution.
