Edward J. Steichen was an American photographer, painter and art gallery and museum curator. He was born on March 27th of 1879 and he died on 25th of 1973 of the same month.
He was most frequent photographer in Alfred Stieglitz's magazine "Camera Work". Later Stiegltz and Steichen opened the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, which years after became famous.
During years 1923 to 1938, he worked as fashion photographer. His pictures were published in "Vogue" and "Vanity Fair" magazines. He also worked for many advertising agencies. During these years, he was considered the best photographer and the highest paid photographer on the world.
After World War II, he was the director of the Department of Photography at New York's museum of Modern Art. In MoMA museum, he made an exhibition which was seen by 9 million people.
His images are special. They are in black and white and some of them in a kind of vintage effect. Most of them are related with fashion. I really like them because of thet. The models seem so perfect.
