The Office, Camille Bidault-Waddington

The Office is an intriguing and revealing new book in which renowned stylist Camille Bidault-Waddington uses her iPhone to document the process of fashion photography and describe the amount of work behind a finished image that many of us take for granted. The volume captures almost two hundred photographers at work between 2015 and 2025.

Bidault-Waddington’s images reveal a collaborative craft and offers a thoughtful exploration of authorship, gesture and largely unseen graft that defines and underpins fashion photography today.
