Tony Duran to Exhibit with Guy Hepner

In an industry that all focus goes to those in front of the camera, it is rare to catch a glimpse of someone responsible for creating those iconic images, Tony Duran. You have seen his images on countless magazine and album covers, campaigns, and editorials.


Touted as ‘the most famous non-famous photographer in the world’ Duran has photographed a virtual who’s who of the Hollywood and fashion set. Duran’s gift is the ability to bring out the sexual side of his subjects sans any inkling towards vulgarity.


There is a sexual ambiguity in Duran’s images that is not achieved through the castration of his subject, but through visual heightening what is truly sensual about the object in front of his lens.


Male and female are treated as the same erotic landscape. It is an intoxicating mix that sends celebrity to new visual heights (one look at Duran’s ten year photographic relations with Jennifer Lopez will show you that.) A model’s career takes the fast track to the top after a stint in front of Duran’s lens. I will be the first to vouch for that. I was one of the lucky models. Years of being a very willing subject in front of Duran’s camera has earned me the right to turn the spotlight on the man that in his own words is part shrink, part clown, part seductor and part devil. Whatever it takes for him to lay down the film that sends people’s hormones racing.

Case Study of Cindy Crawford is Tony Duran's first curated body of work to be released as fine art. Available in extremely small limited editions, the study documents an intimate shoot between the sitter and photographer. Sensual and provocative simultaneously, Case Study of Cindy Crawford exhibits a photographer at the height of his abilities, extracting the most from his subject against a carefully crafted backdrops and settings. Tony Duran D.I.F. announces himself as "The Most Famous Non-Famous Photographer in the World".
