exposure creating these quite gothic
and haunting images. You can see

(1921).

9. Deborah Tubeville
Turbeville is an English born
fashion photographer. More
recently known for her work in
Italian Vogue specifically her
line of images for Valentino. The
work I specifically wanted to
focus on was ‘Wallflower’
(1978) and ‘Unseen Versailles’
(1980). These where her more
abstract pieces of work thus
creating these haunting images.
Which is conveyed through her
experimentation with exposure
and location.
