BILL CUNNINGHAM

Bill Cunningham is a fashion photographer most known for his candid and street style photography. Wondering around his home of New York, he captures the city in a unique light through the clothes that catch his eye; posting his findings in a regular post featuring in The New York Times. 

During our induction week, we went to the Broadway Cinema to watch a documentary about Cunningham himself. Just by watching him in his daily routine, can you grasp and feel inspired by the passion and dedication Cunningham has towards what he is doing. This energy that he gives every day, at the age of 86 is overwhelming. This made me realise the importance of finding your passion and striving to pursue it.

We learn just how influential Cunningham is in the fashion world. He knows exactly what he is looking for, and it is a privilege to be photographed by him. From Italian-American photographer Editta Sherman to Anna Wintour amongst his biggest fans, the followings and relevance of his street style trend spotting is a crucial way for industry professionals to understand how everyday people are wearing the trends that are portrayed to them.

By watching this documentary, I have gained an understanding of the importance of fashion photographers, and gained more of an insight into how the industry works, just by following around an exceptional photographer in his daily routine.
