Fashion photographer who use natural light question

I was wondering is there any famous fashion photographer the likes and styles of Meisel, Annie, Avedon, Ritts that just use natural light for there photos. Meaning no strobes, flashes, reflectors etc...

No.

Actually Avedon did a good deal of his personal work with natural light.

Natural light would limit one to using nothing more than the sun (or maybe a bright moon).....as soon as you turn on the lamp in the corner, you've added an un-natural light into the equation. Now why would a person limit themselves to shooting nothing but natural light? On the other hand, it could maybe be turned into a point of interest and your personal niche and used as a selling point

Avedon did several portfolios of his personal work with available light only and shot the portraits with a view camera and set up a large overhead flat when needed and shot his subjects on white seamless. He choose to shoot in diffused available light so as to put the focus directly one the subjects. That was also the reason for the white seamless. He amde bigger than life sized prints for several exhibits he had of the work. Some photography/art historians say it was his strongest work.

One of the photographers that shoots covers for O magazine only works with natural/available light. I can't remember her name right now. One of the greatest and one of my favorite portrait photographers (I know not fashion) Arnold Newman worked mostly with available light.

thanks

However, the OP question was:

A "yes" answer would have to refer to a fashion photographer--not an editorial or portrait photographer--and one who used only natural light for fashion photography.

Avedon, Penn, Beaton, and many others did quite a bit of location work using only natural light, and there are photographers doing it today. But one would have to create a special niche to make a name doing only natural light photography--something more than simply "natural." Sarah Moon's work from the 70s comes to mind.

Probably not, professional photography necessitates light modifiers.
