Roxanne Lowit né à New-York aux états-unis est une photographe de premier plan du monde de la richesse, de la célébrité et de la beauté. Son travail offre la couverture la plus approfondie des coulisses de la mode de ces quarante dernières années. Dans les années 70 et 80, Lowit fut l'une des premières photographes de mode à se voir garantir l'accès à ces coulisses, élevant la pratique de l'instantané à un art avec son réalisme candide. Elle a amassé une archive de plus de 200000 négatifs et diapositives réalisés durant des centaines de défilés à Paris, New York, Milan et Londres. Du fait de sa fascination pour ce qu'elle appelle « les gens qui ont quelque chose de magique », Lowit est devenue la chroniqueuse du fabuleux à notre époque.
Roxanne Lowit a fait des photographies pour des publications telles que Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Vanity Fair, et The New York Times. Ses publications incluent Moments (Vendome Press, 1993), People: Life After Dark (Assouline, 2001), et Roxanne Lowit: Backstage Dior (teNeues, 2009). Elle a commencé sa carrière dans la photographie de mode après s'être vue proposer de photographier un défilé à Paris par SoHo News. Avant d'entamer sa carrière dans la photographie, elle était styliste à New York. Lowit est diplômée du Fashion Institute of Technology.

White Oak Danc...Exposition « Supermodels – Then and Now » at Camera Work Gallery The self-curated exhibition shows more than 100 works of the best-known artists and a selection of outstanding fashion portrait and nude photography of the most famous supermodels of the last few decades.
According to Thomas P.Campbell, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a worldwide successful model needs to be able to inspire the designer and to represent his intention. In this way a model can obtain a special iconic status and her face can become an own brand. In art, the motif of a supermodel has developed into an international scheduled genre which brings up maximum prices in auctions.
