Fashion Photography tips

1. Get inspired by your surroundings:              

    Have a nice background that is pretty simple so it doesn't take too much attention from the model.

2.Brainstorming

Think of a theme for your photos, have a style that sticks throughout the photo shoot. A good Photographer never walks into a photo shoot without a plan!

3. Experiment with lighting effects

Lighting is the key to every good photograph, no one wants a dark photo, or a really light one..

4.LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!

Location is everything, having a busy background will distract from the photos focus but having too little is boring.

5. Find the perfect model for your shoot.

Dont just choose a model because he or she is famous, choose someone who can make the outfit work. 

6. Style the model

Not only do you want the models make up and hair to be perfect, but also have them pose in the right positions

7.Show the product!

Make sure the product is perfectly visible and well displayed in the photo.

8.Use Props

 Use extra props to make the photo more attractive.

9.Create harmony

Add flow to your photograph, don't let it just look like a bunch of things just thrown together.

10. TEAMWORK!

Not only should the models work well together, but also have a few people help you out "Behind the scenes"

Fashion Photography

Georges Antoni

"Georges Antoni's work is tastefully erotic, often black and white, and often nude, but always high fashion. His photography is a lesson in storytelling, whether told through facial expressions, billowing dresses, calm seas, or simple studio set-ups. He shoots for Oyster, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and more — always outshining the competition with his coloring and lighting expertise."

Mert & Marcus

"Mert & Marcus, who are Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, top the list for multiple reasons — the breadth of their work across publications (Vogue USA, Vogue Italia, W Magazine, Pop Magazine, Numéro, and more) and brands (Louis Vuitton, Missoni, Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Fendi, Kenzo, Miu Miu, and more), their unique style since joining forces in the mid 90s, and their ability to make innovative use of digital technology. Their work boasts perfection, both in their photography and in the presentation of their subjects, which is a result of fine-tuned craft and attention to appearance. In the genre of fashion photography, where perfection is paramount, Mert & Marcus are undoubtedly, and continually, at the top of the game."

Inez & Vinoodh

"Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin have been unstoppable since they joined forces in 1986. Their talent was noticed by the fashion world after they created successful fine art projects together, notably for Lawina, MoMA PS1, and BLVD Magazine. They've challenged, reinvented, and rejuvenated fashion photography in ways no one can deny, winning countless awards for their work with Vogue, Paris Vogue, Vogue Italia, W, Visionaire, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, L’Uomo Vogue, Interview, and others. They've also done iconic campaigns for houses Yves Saint Laurent, Balmain, Nina Ricci, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Isabel Marant, Giuseppe Zanotti, Lanvin Homme, Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Givenchy, and more. Their legacy thus far has been that of being pioneers in digital photography and creating a style of their own in the fashion photography world."

Kevin Carter / Boston Bombing

I think that kevin Carter's work is really neat. Its really life changing to see pictures that he takes. A lot of them show people the realness of the situation. Everything he photographs is 100% real.

I think this event was very sad, i feel extremely bad for everyone involved and all of their family. I do not understand the reasoning behind wanting to hurt others. I hope they find the person behind this soon and do something about it !

Sports Photography

- I dont like sports at all so nothing.
- photographers probably use action shooting with the quickest capture time to get perfect non-blury  action shot
-My favorite prezi slideshow was http://prezi.com/grgoik1gmnnq/cross-country-riding/ by Elizabeth D.
      - She used photos with her information so it looked more neat and made more sense to someone who didnt understand the sport and was trying to learn about it better.
