Fashion Photography

Most of my shoots have been Editorial or Advertising. First of all, Fashion Photography is a genre of photography. It’s not what photography is all about. It’s just a sub-type of photography. From the name itself, one can deduce that fashion photography has something to do with clothes, accessories, shoes and other  items.

Because of its image of being “glamorous,” “stylish,” “fun” and even “lucrative,” it has become an industry entirely on its own. While it’s true that many people have their own version of it, it’s also possible that their idea or notion of fashion photography is insufficient or worse, entirely wrong.

A lot of photographers have already started and developed careers entirely involving fashion photography. Several talented ones have already succeeded in this photography genre. Take note, however, that not all photographers can be fashion photographers. And this is for the simple reason that not all photographers have enough skill, connections and the“eye”. While this may sound rather odd for many  it takes patience to last as a fashion photographer.

The use of images holds more importance than written content when it comes to this type of photography.  For example, the concept and idea behind a design is established better in pictorial form.

Though the task looks quite simple it involves a surplus of technical and directional guidance. Mastering the art of this type of photography comes with its own set of challenges.
