Erwin Blumenfeld (1897-1969) is a fashion photographer, but he experimented in many fields of both photography, film and collage.

This is actually really interesting because I recognise the Dada collages – maybe I recognise the idea and have seen someone else’s – but I’ve not heard of this guy’s fashion photography. I can definitely see an influence on Nick Knight’s work – if only because in the Knight film linked here he borrows the cutting rectangles. Knight works predominately with light for his distortions. Projecting patterns and shapes onto his models.
