From April 23rd to 27th, The Association of International Photography Art Dealers will present its annual Photography Show at the Park Avenue Armory, kicking off a week of programming and exhibitions by a range of galleries and art world luminaries. One of them is the photographer Arthur Elgort, whose groundbreaking work has been featured in the pages of Vogue, GQ, and Rolling Stone, not to mention campaigns for the world’s biggest fashion brands. Ahead of an April 25th panel commemorating his life and career, Elgort joined The New York Times’ Vanessa Friedman, Interview’s fashion director Dara, and his daughter, Sophie Elgort, for a wide-ranging conversation about fashion photography, then and now.

Last month, while Richard Avedon was playing down his fashion photographer profile by showing Manhattan numerous images he has produced in other genres, another New Yorker, Arthur Elgort, was making personal appearances at the city's book stores and the Staley-Wise gallery to launch Models Manual, which focuses on his 22 years of fashion for Condé Nast and other magazines.
