Photographer’s notes: Photocollage by Deborah Turbeville

Deborah Turbeville began her career as a photographer working for magazines such as Vogue Italia, Mademoiselle and Harper’s Bazaar, but her early forays into fashion conversely guided her style in a distinctly unorthodox, uncommercial and experimental direction. A new exhibition at The Photographers’ Gallery in London showcases the enigmatic, genre-defying work of the late American fashion photographer, who has been credited with transforming fashion imagery into avant-garde art. Here, we present a selection of key works from the exhibition.
