He was hired to design the photo shoots but after the photographer refused to use his ideas he shot his own and got the cover of vogue that month, which started his fashion photography career. On his first cover for vogue he used colour in his work and his work looked like a painting and he didn’t use any models he just used still life then he started to work with models and mannequins. He photographed a lot of black and white images but he also did colour images as well but it seemed like he was more interested in black and white to make them stand out more.
