In a richly illustrated essay, curator and critic Antwaun Sargent addresses a radical transformation taking place in fashion, art, and the visual vocabulary around beauty and the body. In The New Black Vanguard, fifteen artist portfolios and a series of conversations feature the brightest contemporary fashion photographers. Their images and stories chart the history of inclusion (and exclusion) in the creation of the Black fashion image, while simultaneously proposing a brilliantly reenvisioned future.

A unique behind-the-scenes approach to show how a world-famous photographer works on location and in his studio. Whether landscapes, portraits, architecture, still-life or action shots, each photo's set-up diagram shows the location and where the lights, reflectors and other equipment were placed to take the finished picture. Comparative photographs show how changes of angle, lighting or composition will give dramatically different results.
