In contemporary fashion photography, Erik Madigan Heck is something of an anomaly—a highly successful anomaly who charts his own course. His work is elegant and unashamedly beautiful, exploring the intersections of fashion, painting, and classical portraiture. Working with natural light and combining in-camera effects with digital post-production, he produces evocative and seductive images that are simultaneously timeless and futuristic. His work stands alongside that of the greats, yet he is a true original and no mere imitator. Erik Madigan Heck: Old Future presents more than 100 photographs in a flowing, chromatic sequence. Featuring essays by Susan Bright and Justine Picardie that examine Heck’s place within the realms of both art photography and fashion, and an index to the photographs that identifies the piece, model, designer, collection, or publication in which each image appeared, this book is the essential introduction to a future master of fashion photography.
