Corinne Day (1965–2010)
Woman Dancing at a London Club
1992

Corinne Day said of her work, ‘I want to make my images as documentary as possible, an image of life that is real.’ She frequently incorporated her own clothes and accessories into her candid fashion shoots. She is credited with shaping the early career of the model Kate Moss, who was just fifteen when photographed by Day in the July 1990 issue of The Face.
