Belgian photographer Willy Vanderperre is arguably best known for his long running and successful creative relationship with Raf Simons. The partnership has spanned most of Vanderperre’s career and seen the photographer shoot high-profile campaigns for both Simons’ namesake brand and Calvin Klein. An exhibition dedicated to the photographer — titled prints, film, posters and more – recently opened in London, and looks back at almost 30 years of iconic work from Vanderperre.

Some of the highlights of the exhibition include Vanderperre’s portrait work — with shots of famous faces such as Kate Moss and Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner — as well as some of the photographer’s editorial work for a range of publications. Take a look inside the exhibition in the gallery above, and prints, film, posters and more runs until March 17 at London’s 180 Strand. Entrance is free.

In other art news, Carsten Höller is set to install giant slides in a historic Florence palace.
