I published it with a photo of a girl with naked shoulders and thought it. On the occasion of Gallery Weekend Berlin, Kicken Berlin presents a very personal selection of the native Berliner's oeuvre. From 1989 until 2000, the gallery represented Newton's work worldwide and thus consolidated his debut on the international art market. So I was kicked out of the hallowed halls of Vogue only to return in 1969 when Francine Crescent was appointed editor-in-chief. The work of Helmut Newton is closely linked to the history of Kicken Gallery. I pointed out to her that I had no exclusive contract with Vogue, and it was of course understood that I would never divulge any ideas developed by French Vogue to Queen or vice versa.

A central idea of this paper is to emphasise that femininity is a social construct and to present the manner in which the female gaze eschews its conventional stereotypes. Additionally, through a descriptive approach, it intends to showcase fashion photography as a vehicle to debate gender and sexuality within patriarchy. The aim of this paper is to explore the underlying meanings behind traditional representations of women in the fashion photography milieu and to evidence how fashion photography mirrors culture, thus carrying symbolic value and ideological codes. 'In Search of the Female Gaze: Women as Practitioners of Fashion Photography' uses the imagery of photographers Helmut Newton, Miles Aldridge, Deborah Turbeville, Corinne Day and Maisie Cousins as case studies in order to investigate the nuances between the way men and women look at and photograph women. It incorporates a multidisciplinary theoretical framework, embracing feminist and psychoanalytical discourse and semiotics. This thesis examines the female gaze in conjunction with fashion photography.
