Fashion Photography

By Sowoso Damianoso


Are you somebody that likes to hob-nob with celebs? Are you wanting to take their footage as well? If the above is true then fashion photography can be your career trail.

As a fashion cameraman, you will be taking pictures of models and stars and portraits. To be successful in this sort of photography, you've got to have a good sense of promoting. You'll be ready to sell a pose, a face and even a feeling. This does not suggest that you should not want to be a fashion cameraman. It suggests that you'll need to work harder to get your work broadcast, recognized and accepted. It is usually a smart idea to begin by getting some exposure thru working in tiny agencies and work with less familiar models and then slowly make a portfolio that will always be enhanced. You've got to make a rep of being a professional and creative shooter and this is among the key things. As a fashion cameraman, you ought to know about studio lighting, design setting and shooting in a managed environment.

This wishes you to be aware as a person and well informed as a snapper. Working with models can be rather a tough job and the most critical part lies in specifying the mood for your models. You can beat this impediment through effective communication and patience. So in brief, fashion photography isn't just about photography but also wants you to be in a position to interact and communicate with people. The basic skills of photography are all the same.

You have got to have information and might be able to understand camera operation, composition, lighting, darkroom procedures, and the properties of different forms of camera films. As a cameraman, you will need to use different mixes of cameras, films, lenses, filters, and lighting to result in an effect, and a last picture.

Differing kinds of photography like nature, wildlife, wedding, portrait and fashion have their particular prerequisites and experience of the subject. The position of the camera is urgent for shooting a good picture. If you're looking to shoot a full body image of any model, then the shot must be taken from a comparatively low camera height, which should not transcend the photographer's hips. The ever favored head shot or head and shoulders portrait needs to be taken from a little above the eyelevel of the model. This height will bring out well revealed facial features but if you do not maintain the right level then your image will have a deformed view. This level will make your subject appear taller and dominant.
