Fifty years ago, fashion photography was perceived as the elite preserve of glossy magazines. Today it is part of 21st-century life, seen everywhere from billboards to shop windows, to the style magazines that dominate the newsagent's shelves. This exposure has encouraged photographers and stylists to strive to create images that are more striking than the last, to stun a demanding public with an increasingly sophisticated palette. Creative technology is opening up vast new territories in fashion photography by introducing a new level of digital image manipulation. Pixel Surgeons is about that emerging talent.
