Synopsis
Corinne Day's photographs have influenced a generation of fashion and documentary image makers. Her pictures unflinchingly document her life and relationships with a realist snapshot aesthetic-representing a youth culture set against the glamour of fashion and avoiding fictionalization or voyeurism. Gaining notoriety both for a scandalous photo of Kate Moss in Vogue in 1993 and for pioneering so-called 'grunge' fashion photography, she was exiled from the mainstream fashion media-which had always been wary of her potential for controversy-a few years later as tastes began to shift towards a more stylized, clean-cut look. Since then her photography has tended to focus on her own life, on the daily lives of her circle of friends. Diary is Corinne Day's first publication, cataloguing the photographer's life over the past five years. The subjects of this book include friends like Tara-a London commune dweller and fashion stylist-and George and Rose, who after being photographed by Day went on to become catwalk models. Their lives intersect in this book, presenting an honest document of contemporary youth with all their habits, desires, fears, and hopes.

Hardcover. First edition. As New hardcover in the publisher's shrink wrap. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. Corinne Day (1962-2010), taking off from Nan Goldin, embodied the 1990s photographic fashion aesthetic defined by natural settings, available light, little or no makeup, and young and seemingly unconcerned models. Her photos of a teenage Kate Moss for The Face set the tone and started the trend, though her work in the same vein later brought her into conflict with the big fashion mags. The aesthetic quickly evolved into what became known as "heroin chic." This book presents her personal work over a number of years, unflinchingly looking at the lives of herself (including her run-up to surgery for a brain tumor and recovery thereafter) and her friends, some of whom would die of drug-related causes. 112 pages; color reproductions throughout; 9.25 x 11.25 inches.
