DescriptionImage of woman wearing yellow wool coat, strands of pearls, and black heels while standing in front of a crane truck with her purse open.Gallery LabelWilliam Klein took this photograph while he worked as a fashion photographer for Vogue magazine. As seen in this image, Klein preferred to photograph models outside of the confines of a commercial studio, using the streets of New York City as a natural backdrop. Klein’s innovative approach resulted in dynamic images that situated elegant fashion models amid the city’s gritty, everyday realties.
