Photo: 28.6 x 21.7 cm Parchment/Velum Paper?: 45.5 x 41.1 cm Board: 64 x 51.1 cm Baron Adolph Sigismund de Meyer is seen by many as the founder of fashion photography. Later in his career he was to work for both Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. In London he moved comfortably in the highest levels of society and photographed many of the celebrities he met. His style—strongly influenced by Tonalist and Impressionist painting—was extremely fashionable at the turn of the century. He would manipulate negatives and prints and often use a soft focus lens. Detail was stripped away and the quality of light on surfaces, as well as the modulation of shadows, was almost as important to his style as depicting the sitter.

Photo: 23.4 x 18.4 cm Paper (studio name): 52.4 x 31.8 cm Board: 64.1 x 51.1 cm Adolph de Meyer photographed Grainger multiple times between 1903 and 1906—documenting the young musician’s maturation from late adolescence into adulthood. He lavished Grainger with expensive gifts and invited him to play at his many fashionable parties, paying him handsomely, an uncommon gesture among aristocrats. Emerging musicians were usually expected to play for no fee, with the exposure to potential patrons considered payment enough.

Title A name given to the resource Percy Grainger Subject The topic of the resource Photograph Description An account of the resource Silver gelatin prints and mechanically printed postcard. 13.5 x 8.3 cm Aimé Dupont was a fashionable New York studio where Grainger sat for a number of portraits sometime before November 1915. He had already made his debut to New York audiences and with the help of a manager was energetically promoting his career. These four images indicate how he made the most of a single portrait sitting with printed and hand-written inscriptions added for a more personalised effect. He had numerous post cards featuring these images machine printed with details of his future performances. The studio’s namesake, Aimé Dupont, died in in 1900, but his family, and subsequent future investors, kept his ‘brand’ going until the 1950s.

Arnold Genthe was a celebrity photographer who worked in San Francisco and later New York. Genthe’s great contribution to photographic history is his documentation of San Francisco's China Town before it was completely destroyed by fire in 1906. He used a concealed camera and is considered to be one of the first modern street photographers. Genthe’s technique of catching his subject unaware translated into the studio, where his sitters seem unposed and captured mid-thought.
