Photogrpah Richard Burbridge

Richard Burbridge’s unconventional photographs are a breath of fresh air in the world of fashion photographers. The UK native, who is part of the furniture at design bible i-D, has brought his hyper-attenuated eye and perfectionism to Harper’s Bazaar, W and French Vogue. Burbridge is also noted for his penetrating portraits of celebrities such as Sean Penn and Iggy Pop, as well as designers Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Jeremy Scott. Here, the typically taciturn shutterbug opens up to Lee Carter about cover-worthy winks, Christmas tree kinks, and other high fashion hijinks.
