Frank Horvat

Frank Horvat, one of the world's leading fashion photographers, sits down with FotoTV to discuss the intricacies of his work, his techniques, inspirations and motivations behind some of his most memorable images.

Of particular interest are images from his personal visual diary, “A Daily Report.” The images are scenes from daily life that are often missed and left unrecorded. As we view the photos they appear to have been discovered not created, not the typical photographs seen from other photographers, which appear to have been meticulously and stylistically planned.

Horvat's use of color, light and composition in his project “Portraits of Trees “ is brilliant, while his images of “Veronique” are fascinating as well as personal, in the sense that they give the viewer a sense of the man behind the camera. Perhaps so, because as Horvat explains, “The Veronique project was to leave a visual legacy of my own reference and memories, by showing the unimportant things that I perceived while photographing.” While Horvat likes to think of his work as being simple, it is in this intricate simplicity where we discover the true significance of his work: his images are well perceived, but not unreal.
