Erwin Blumenfeld

Erwin Blumenfeld (1897-1969) was a photographer born in Germany and one of the leading fashion photographers in the 20th century. His early life was largely influenced by an artistic inclination with exposure to Dadaism - a movement that helped shape his avant-garde style. When Blumenfeld moved to Amsterdam in the 1920s, he opened a leather goods store in which he distinguished his experimentation with photography. In these early works, his individual style took on a mix between surrealism and innovation in photography techniques. It was in the late '30s that he moved to Paris, where his career shot into fashion photography.
