Day and Moss collaborate again for new addition to NPG Permanent Collection

Acclaimed fashion photographer Corinne Day has produced a new series of portraits of Kate Moss for the National Portrait Gallery. The nine black and white images are all shot in close up in the style of a single frame, capturing both the beauty of the model, as well has her character. Each image is subtly different and reflects a conversation between the sitter and photographer. Day, known for establishing long term relationships with her subjects, has been photographing Moss for over 15 years.

Talking about the commission, she said, “I suggested to Kate that we have a conversation about a serious subject. The subject she chose to talk about revealed her true feelings and in turn defined her character.” The image, as well as an interview with Moss will be run in the March issue of British Vogue. The nine images, which have been brought together in one large frame, will be unveiled at the gallery on February 12.
