"Conde Nast" Magazine 1928
"The Pond Moonlight" 1904

Edward Steichen
1879-Luxembourg

Edward Steichen famous for his pictorialist photography/painter in the United States and abroad. When entering the photographic world, Steichen applied the soft focus style to his images then eventually banishing the gauzy light of fashion to a more clean,crisp lines to modernism which is seen in the image "Conde Nast" One of my favourites would have to be "The Pond Moonlight" an early piece of Steichens .This image has a very dream like quality with color and natural lighting.
