Inspired by the Surrealists, early fashion photographer Erwin Blumenfeld used experimental darkroom techniques to create unique and often uncanny images. An engagement with optical and chemical process helped transform the genre into an art form.
A selection of works are on display at Edwynn Houk Gallery, New York, until 2 June. Find out more here.
