Horst Diekgerdes
Horst Diekgerdes is the German-born photographer that has, over the years, shot ad campaigns for Miu Miu, album covers for Pulp (This Is Hardcore) and portraits of cultural icons ranging from Alexander McQueen to Erykah Badu. Though his subjects may vary, his visual language is distinctive – sensual, yet always slightly off-kilter. Proof of this can be found in his first-ever monograph, conceived as a visual journey beginning back in the mid-1990s. 
Standouts from the book include his Chloé SS01 ad campaign and the book’s cover image, which depicts Pirelli favourite Isabeli Fontana, her eyes clouded over. There are also unpublished portraits from Diekgerdes’ archive, observational snapshots of daily life and text by Veronique Leroy and Dazed co-founder Jefferson Hack.
