Corinne Day (1962–2010)
‘England’s Dreaming’
1992
Corinne Day brought a raw documentary approach
to fashion photography in the 1990s. Her candid and intimate pictures were a counterpoint to the air-brushed perfection of the models featured in glossy magazines. This photograph seems to capture a fragment of a narrative, asking us to question why this half-dressed figure is alone in the woods.
