---------- Fashion ©Ryszard Horowitz for Patrizia Dare, Milan, Italy ---------- "They asked for sketches of what I might do and ended up using most of my ideas. It was really wonderful, they gave me a few parameters, such as they wanted something very avant-garde, adventurous, and futuristic. This allowed me a tremendous amount of creative room. The final results are not out yet and I am dying to find out if they will have any impact on my potential fashion work in the States." ----------Like most visionary artists, Horowitz is incisively opinionated when asked to speculate about the future of his art, especially as it pertains to fashion photography in particular. ---------- "I feel there will always be two standards going on in this industry. There will always be a need for catalog imagery, that business is growing everyday, and I believe it will only get larger because the Internet is becoming accepted as the place to do commerce. ---------- "Secondly, there is another whole area that exists to some extent right now; [and that] is the imagery that deals more with the subconscious. Things that deal with moods, ideas, even smells. I am speaking in terms of much more allegorical imagery, full of metaphors and indirect impulses or messages. If you open one of the fashion magazines you might find this style. In the future, especially when it comes to editorial which is entrenched in the traditional, you will begin to see more astonishing fantasy photography.
