Tony McGee

Introduction

"The Hat Box" stands as one of the most enigmatic and graphically powerful photographic works by the celebrated British photographer Tony McGee, captured in 2006 within the context of a prestigious high fashion campaign. Internationally renowned for his intimate, instinctual, and charismatic portraits of music and fashion icons ranging from his famous, enduring collaboration with David Bowie to the very first professional shots of a young Kate Moss McGee deliberately abandons the psychological narrative of the human face in this work to embrace pure geometric abstraction.
