Frank Horvat

PAID ENTRANCE

One of the pioneers who brought fashion photography out of the studio and into the streets, Frank Horvat blurred the boundaries between the spontaneity of everyday life and the constructed image. From Paris to London, he placed models within the flow of the city while preserving a striking sense of intimacy, confidence and natural presence. Inspired by Horvat’s belief that photography is as much about knowing when not to press the shutter as when to capture an image, Please. Don’t Smile. offers a glimpse into the distinctive visual language of one of photography’s most singular voices.
