Coming in the future
Flashes popping, beautiful women, delicious men, and exotic locations, this is fashion photography in the movies, where more attention is paid to the models and photographers than to the clothes. In reality, clothes are paramount during a fashion shoot. Models are a vehicle to display the clothes and the right model is one of the key elements to creating a successful shot for the client. The team of model, makeup artist, stylist, and photographer execute the art director's concept. Ron has been shooting fashion since the late 70s. He has seen styles come, go, and come back again. The business has evolved from the photographer hashing out a concept with an art director during an interview to dropping your book off to art buyers so they can see if you have the right style for the art director's concept. |
Agenda/outline: Come with an slr or a dslr that you know how to use. During the afternoon session you will be shooting the model, connected to the studio strobes with a pocket wizard in your flash shoe. Ron will teach you how to do this. All the techniques that you learn are applicable to portrait photography too.
