The true beauty of a human being highlighted by fashion that is created in the human mind. We are left to contemplate this stunning beauty. Unfortunately, the new style of fashion photography tends towards a narrated narrative that does not emphasize beauty. Strange, unnatural poses, distorted silhouettes, sad models, bad quality. Just look for old albums from the end of the 20th century. See albums of Renaissance painters delighted with beauty. And us? Where are we going? Do we really want to forget how beautiful a person can be?
