When we think of the term “Classic” in America we tend to think back to a very specific time in our history. The 1950’s. It was the end of World War 2 and America had formed a new Identity. The Era of mass media and consumerism had began and corporate america boomed.
This classic depiction of men in suit’s and thick framed glasses harks back to the days of those who pioneered fashion into corporate culture. College educated men refined for the new corporate world were young lawyers, Ad executives and bankers full of ambition and fresh ideas they understood the value of ‘”image'” and embraced fashion to express themselves marking the birth of what we now refer to as Metrosexuality.

PHOTOGRAPHER BIO
“Everybody has something to offer to an image, its something that’s within them – an energy – I love capturing this energy with my camera.” – Lenox Fontaine
Lenox’s life as an artist began at a very early age by discovering self-expression and creativity within theatre arts and dance. Unleashing his distinct and original viewpoint, he found a niche in photography, allowing him to write, produce, direct and style all of his own artistic visions….with the ability to interpret the ideals of top fashion and media clients and a degree in cinematography, his images reflect style and emotion reaching beyond a still photograph.
Lenox specializes in people photography, beauty, fashion and portraits. “I have always been fascinated by beauty, photography is a form of exploration for me to find the inner light.” He has worked with a wide range of photographers in fashion, honing his technical skills. His roster of clients include The New York Times, NBC, Atlantic Records, top fashion publications Elle Girl and Essence. ” Unlike other artists, I don’t feel that shooting commercial work is selling out, I see it as an opportunity to influence pop culture.”
