Born in Brooklyn in 1936, American photographer James Moore was given a camera at the age of 11 by a family friend that would encourage his lifelong fascination with the image.

| Fashion photography in the 1960s by James Moore |
It was not long before opening his own studio in 1960 that Moore’s career would fundamentally change. In 1962, Harper’s Bazaar’s art director Marvin Israel took a chance on the young fashion photographer James Moore and hired him to shoot photos for the magazine. At the time, Moore had little published work, but he had studied under Bazaar’s former art director Alexey Brodovitch. Israel’s intuition about Moore’s talent proved correct, launching the photographer’s decades-long relationship with the magazine.
Moore’s editorials for Harper’s Bazaar ranged from cinematic black-and-white shots to portraits of models striking structured, angular poses. His detail-oriented approach exaggerated a sense of glamour in his images, pioneering a new style within fashion photography. While his technique has been replicated and praised, Moore himself has often been neglected in discussions of 1960s fashion and culture.
The new book James Moore: Retrospective, out April 25 from Damiani, seeks to commemorate Moore and his undeniable influence in the fashion industry. Moore died 2006 at the age of 70. He is survived by his wife Beate and his children Vanessa, Nicolas and Melissa.
