Elena Vaninetti

At an early stage in his career, Richard Selby met the famous Japanese photographer Hiro. As one of few European photographers, Selby experimented with the style of photographers like Araki Nobuyoshi, Moriyama Daido, Hosoe Eikoh, Yoho Tsuda and Honjo Koro. Also Provoke magazine, with work of Takuma Nakahira, Yutaka Takanashi, with its raw, grainy black and white pictures, has clearly influenced him.

As a classic schooled photographer, Richard Selby mastered the darkroom printing process like no other. His photo prints have unprecedented finesse, contrast and tonality. Unless stated otherwise, irregularities and reflections on the shown pictures, are caused by scanning or photography of the prints.

BIOGRAPHY
Richard Selby was born on the 6th of August 1933 in London, England. He graduated from Cambridge University with a M.A. in History. He spent several years working in London at various jobs before enrolling at Westminster University to study photography. At the end of his first year he took a summer job in a New York studio and from there found a job as assistant to Art Kane, a famous editorial and advertising photographer. Two years later, he declined invitations from Richard Avedon and Hiro and started out on his own as a freelance editorial photographer in New York for magazines such as Look, Saturday Evening Post, Holiday and Venture. 

While on assignment for Venture, he visited Munich and was invited by Willy Fleckhaus to work for Twen magazine. Twen is still considered to be the most prestigious and influential magazine ever created. Besides Richard Selby and Will McBride, Twen invited freelance photographers like Jeanloup Sieff, David Hamilton, Wim Wenders, Sam Haskins and Helmut Newton. Subsequently, he divided his time working for magazines in New York, London, Paris, Milan and Munich. For the German edition of Playboy he did a number of playmates, including the first one shot outside the U.S.A. He also began to do some corporate work. He has never solicited advertising photography.

CLIENTS
Germany: Twen, Playboy, Jasmin, Eltern, Freundin, Quick and Stern.
England: Nova, Honey, Woman’s Own and Over 21.
France: Depech Mode and Marie France.

KNOW YOUR NUMBER
In 1991 his first book of nudes 'Know Your Number' was published in Germany. Almost 5000 copies of this book were sold, mainly in the U.S.A.. After a period of ill health following the publication, a second revised and enlarged edition of the book was published in 2001. Richard lives in Brighton, England, and is trying to finish a long time running project about artists.
