"He takes wry photographs of fashion and the fashionable but without malice, he reveals robot-like models, multitasking make-up artists, a woman doing pushups on the sidelines. He truly enjoys pageantry, the foibles of the style conscious, and the over-the-top displays of vanity—they all make up the spectacle for him." -ELISABETH BIONDI
For the past four years photographer Landon Nordeman (born 1974) has been regularly dispatched by New York Magazine and The New York Times to document the world of fashion. Shooting hundreds of shows backstage in New York, Milan and Paris, Nordeman brings a fresh, joyous and bold perspective to contemporary photography. In the over-photographed digital culture of fashion today, Nordeman’s approach cuts through the clutter. He sees photographs where most people don’t, and he has gained an enormous following on Instagram for his surprising images, filled with vivid color, complex gestures and funny juxtapositions. Finding the enduring in the ephemeral, Nordeman blurs the line between reality and fiction, document and art, and shows the exclusive world of fashion to itself and to us as never before. Nordeman's photographs have been exhibited at Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York and the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, among other venues, and are in the collections of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Columbus Museum of Art. He lives and works in New York City.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS
i-D
Emily Manning
Bright, saturated colors and hardcore flash bring drama and vitality to each photograph without sacrificing Nordeman's subtle wit and humor... The book treats fashion fans to shows they'll recognize — Thom Browne's Japanese schoolgirls, Jacquemus' double face makeup, Raf's final flower-filled Dior outing — but provides entirely new views into what happens behind the curtain.
Essential Homme
Joshua Glass
Journeying across the globe for nearly 10 fashion seasons, this super-saturated surveillance has now been captured and condensed in Nordeman's very first book of photography, 'Out of Fashion,' a witty, visual tribute to the often-missed moments from the world of style.
W Magazine
Shooting backstage at runway shows for the past four years, the photographer Landon Nordeman has been capturing what even the most trained eye may gloss over; Landon Nordeman: Out of Fashion gives us a peek into the unseen and often comical side of the fashion world.
Bal Harbour
Wendy Vogel
A riot of color, texture and larger-than-life personalities, photographer Landon Nordeman's new book, 'Out of Fashion' (Damiani), captures the glamour and the aftermath of runway shows.
Quartz
Jenni Avins
But the world of fashion lends itself particularly well to his lens. Nordeman shows his appreciation with the blast of his flash, and captures weird, wonderful moments and details: A guest moved by the energy of a Marc Jacobs show drops to the floor and begins to do push-ups; a lineup of pink and caramel-colored eclairs shines on a platter backstage; a woman swipes moisturizer onto a male model's chiseled torso.
New York Journal of Books
Jeffrey Felner
Part of what makes this book so special is that it is not the run of the mill fashion photography book that readers have become accustomed to; yes, of course there is the small size, but the most intriguing and outstanding quality is that Nordeman examines the minutiae of fashion.
Monrowe
Sullivan Whitely
His photos are not photos of fashion, but are fashionable themselves. They oppose conventional images that are expected of fashion shows. Not a single one of his images could be described as soft nor urbane; each possesses extreme colors and movement, yet Nordeman manages to keep the chaos of the moment contained. His new book of photography, "Out of Fashion," chronicles the best of these images... Even after fashion week and the buzzing of social media, Nordeman's images are able to stand alone as art in their own right.
New York Magazine, The Cut
Anna Furman
The most dramatic backstage photos you'll see all fashion month.
Time, Best Photobooks of 2016
Marysa Greenawalt
Landon Nordeman brings us fashion’s most familiar faces in an unfamiliar light…a fresh take on an industry through often saturated, highly controlled imagery.

"In the many years I have been looking at photographs, I must have seen thousands of fashion show pictures," Elisabeth Biondi writes in Landon Nordeman: Out of Fashion. "Most of them, more or less successfully, concentrate on models in a zoo-like atmosphere, preparation for the runway, and the audience—invited guests and celebrities and fashionistas. Landon avoids the predictable coverage and instead concentrates on seemingly unimportant situations on the sidelines, or what happens behind the curtain. His eagerly roaming eyes instinctively settle on an overlooked detail, a surprising overall view, the Eiffel Tower looming in the center of the picture, constructivist shapes and patterns, in a way that only Landon can capture." continue to blog
