               • Nobody has made quite the lasting impression on fashion imagery as Helmut Newton. Hired by French Vogue in the 1950s before being propelled to fame in the 1970s, Newton came to be renowned for his controversial scenarios, hypersexualised imagery and striking compositions. With elements of his work that linked to the themes of surrealism – an art movement dominant during his youth spent growing up in Berlin – Newton’s unadulterated love of beautiful and strong women saw him create images laden with heavy overtones of voyeurism, sadomasochism and fetishism.

   • Early Photography since 1839
     • Fashion Photography 1850 - Present.Fine art photography that focuses exclusively of the promotion of ""Haute Couture"
       • https://www.theartstory.org/movement/documentary-photography/
       • Documentary photography since 1843. The term Documentary Photography describes photography that attempts to capture real-life situations and settings.
         • https://www.theartstory.org/movement/documentary-photography/
         • Photo journalism since 1853. The first true Photojournalism, however, is usually attributed to Carol Szathmari and Roger Fenton who used their cameras to document the Crimean War (1853-56).
           • https://www.theartstory.org/movement/documentary-photography/
           • Street Photography since 1890. While there are precedents, and areas of overlap with documentary and architectural photography, Street Photography is unique in the way it is associated with the photographer's skill in capturing something of the mystery and aura of everyday city living. As such, the human figure becomes the Street photograph's most vivid and defining feature.
             • https://www.theartstory.org/movement/street-photography/
             • Straight photography since 1904. Straight photography emphasizes and engages with the camera's own technical capability to produce images sharp in focus and rich in detail.
               • https://www.theartstory.org/movement/straight-photography/
               • Abstract Photography since 1916. Like abstract art, it has also been called non-objective or concrete, and like abstract art it occupies a sliding scale from broadly representational work with abstract elements to wholly non-representational images. The evolution of abstract photography has primarily been driven by the pioneering explorations of individual artists. Some, such as Paul Strand and Alfred Stieglitz, used traditional methods to photograph real-life scenes and objects in ways which emphasized their abstract qualities, while others, such as Christian Schad, Man Ray, and László Moholy-Nagy, made abstract "photograms", contact-prints created without a camera.
