Born 1931 in Bäretswil in the canton of Zürich, Swiss photographer Peter Knapp is widely recognized for his work in fashion photography and his contributions to the visual arts. He made a significant impact in the world of photography during the mid-20th century. Knapp worked for various fashion magazines, such as
Elle and
Vogue, and his style is known for its unique blend of contemporary art and innovative photography techniques.
His work often combines elements of movement, abstraction, and portraiture, giving his subjects a sense of dynamism and fluidity. One of his notable contributions was to the way fashion photography evolved—he brought a fresh, artistic approach to it, moving away from the traditional, static poses that were popular at the time.
These impressive photos are part of his work that Peter Knapp took fashion portraits of classic beauties in the 1960s and 1970s.
