There’s no easy way to admire Shaun’s photography other than fill almost each of these sentences with words synonymous to stunning, striking and groundbreaking. There’s no way to say something negative about it either. Photos that sell make a photographer famous, but what made Shaun Alexander become one of the most award winning and nominated photographers in the whole world is his ability to control light and shadow in his photos. Photography is never simple, unless you’re not taking it seriously. For aspiring photographers, it is a skill to master.

A man of versatility, talent and expertise, action and connections, Shaun Alexander strives to cover all aspects of a lookbook and catalog shoot.

Music plays a great part in the inspiration of Shaun Alexander. Music alone can be a Los Angeles photographer’s muse other than models, celebrities and recording artists. It is important for a photographer to be up-to-date with the latest sounds, especially the music of his subjects. Shaun captures portraits like no other Los Angeles music photographer can. He easily gets the picture out according to how the recording artist wants it to be, and he certainly shows the essence of their music through the covers of magazines and CDs.

In this way, he gets to connect with them and be able to produce results that aren’t distant to what the singer wants and who he or she is as an artist and as his or her self. Such work is carried out by Shaun perfectly. Almost every time, there’s an album to be released, a music video to shoot, or a CD cover to make, motivating him to make sure that his work satisfies the client and makes him proud of another accomplishment. Photoshop helps, but Shaun casts his own spell on each snapshot and there- you have a masterpiece.

Shaun knows which object in the picture to highlight, and he does it beautifully. In his snapshots, neither light nor shadow ever overwhelms the subject and neither does it show inadequately. The covers for Montana Shane are extremely rock ‘n roll, hardcore and yet there’s still a mellow side to it made possible by his expertise in lighting and ability to shoot great angles. Ready to show his creativity, talent and skill as a LA music photographer.

For years I have enjoyed doing what I passionately love and enjoy, for the past several years I have fallen in love with my new passion which is teaching the art of photography to others.

Taking beautiful pictures is not only a great thing to know but also it can turn in to a much more serious career as it did for me

When I started photography almost 30 years ago, I had no idea that’s what I was going to do for the rest of my life, all I had was a nikon f3 and a Nikon 50 mm 1.4 lens and a gorgeous girl friend that let me take her picture all the time, after a while we had so much fun doing it that we spent most of our free time shooting.

A few short months later she was recruited by Elite after I submitted her pictures to them, and the rest is history, in a less than a year I was shooting for all the top agencies and modeling schools and local businesses making enough money to put me and my GF at the time through college

Till this date I don’t even know how 27 years went by so quickly, I guess it’s true when they say ” Time flies when you are having fun”  and truly I have had a blast! Traveled the world doing what I love, and enjoying every second of it, and now I am blessed with the experience and the knowledge that can help many more like me to reach their dreams

My photography workshops are not like any other photography classes or photography lessons you have seen or experienced, I personally create and manage a set of very specific methods and techniques that helps each individual to learn some of the trade secrets that took me years to learn in a matter of  hours or days, and I guess that’s what sets my photography workshops apart from others.

It does not matter if you are a professional photographer or just got started, my private one on one Photography Classes are guaranteed to give you the push and support needed to get you on your feet and well on your way to become independently creative

Fashion Photography by Shaun Alexander

Fashion Photography is perhaps known as one of the most glamorous careers, but no one really knows what it takes to become a successful fashion photographer.

We all have seen millions of photographs in our life time, but only a few make their way in our permanent memory forever.Fashion photographers and  journalistic photographers play an important role on our society, they all have the ability to freeze time with a click of a camera for eternity

That’s what I call powerful and sometimes glamorous, but unlike journalistic images, fashion photography comes with much more preparation and technicalities. Fashion lighting is not like any other style of photography and it requires much more artistic eye and vision.

Many of those photography techniques are discussed in Shaun Alexander’d Fashion and photography lighting workshops for top fashion photography and highly styled images

This is one of my favorite fashion headshots of Tanya, we actually did not plan for this shot at all, as she was getting her hair cut I happened to have my camera handy and a small soft box was used to get the soft defused lighting

Fashion photography can sometimes be so simple and having a top fashion model is always helpful to capture beautful images that can make a life time impression

Having great taste and creativity, Shaun Alexander gives Guess an ad campaign that captivates the rand’s total look- easygoing, however elegant and expensive. There has never been a cheap-looking Shaun Alexander photo ever, and neither a Guess ad. This shows that the top advertising photographer has not only lived up to adding another item to the legacy of ad portraits for the company of the Marciano brothers. He was able to successfully embody the Guess spirit in his work and at the same time apply his own style into it.

In New York advertising photography, the Ad campaigns must consist of a photographer who directs the shoot according to how the product or service should be presented. He lets the model do her job, but makes sure he or she gets it right and makes a pretty picture.

Advertising photography demands perfection since its purpose is for the endorsement of a company’s product or service. Cecil ads by Shaun alexander show not only the brand’s youthful side, but the freshness of their hippest products that make trends more buyable and wearable. For Laqua, he again lends his expertise, giving the brand strong, artistic, couture photo ads that sell.

If you observe all of his works, it would be clear to see that it is his remarkable lighting that does the magic. He just doesn’t let light fall on any part of the subject. His photos radiate with light in the right places and touches the viewer the first time their eyes get caught with all of it. Shaun’s experience as an advertising photographer has earned him more projects. These include cosmetic campaigns, editorial campaigns and promotions for fashion designers, fashion magazines, advertising companies, fashion editorials, and celebrities.

Fashion photography lighting by fashion editorial photographer Shaun Alexander

No matter how gorgeous the makeup looks, it is never noticed in photos if the lighting is impaired. Once again, this highly regarded photography skill is mentioned, dragging along the name of world famous fashion photographer Shaun Alexander for his spectacular lighting techniques. Color is important, and he has the talent in letting color and light unite, turning pictures into the most smashing portraits you’d ever see.

Only the best photographers can capture the beauty of each atmosphere, body, person or object. The secret is lighting, according to Shaun Alexander. He takes amazing photographs like no other. With the mastery of photography lighting, he is able to produce flawless candid shots especially the most memorable momentum at the right timing.

Lighting is yet a skill to improve for amateur photographers, but for Shaun Alexander, he has perfectly mastered it. For perfect photography lighting to work, the artist is gifted with an ability to see what would turn images into bestsellers. Where light strikes and does not is similar to considering which part of the subject must be shaded or left alone in sketching. Shaun is quite cautious about his lighting techniques as it is his secret to taking great photographs. He shares this to aspiring photographers throughout the globe.

Those who have no idea that it is lighting that gives photography a spark are likely to ogle and admire the colors, the pose, or how the model looks. Yet they fail to see what’s utterly visible at the moment, what exactly makes the picture as immaculate as it appears to be. It is no other than the light that falls on specific angles. Shaun literally gives light through lighting techniques and he also gives enlightenment with his groundbreaking portfolio by showing how lighting can make a difference in a range of photographs that people are destined to see.

In every picture, Shaun brings lighting to perfection. It took him places in more than twenty-seven years of experience as it does up today. Just take time to marvel at his portfolio and you’ll discover a separate art in photography that Shaun Alexander is known for- his own.

You want to know my truth about shooting fashion shows? I don’t shoot them! Seriously. But I have shot them in the past, especially when I was first starting out in my career. The thing is, if you’re a fashion photographer, it’s going to come up. You’re going to get offered the gig at some point. Or a designer friend is going to need a favor and you won’t want to turn them down. Or maybe you really want to head in that direction with your career. For me, I’ve gotten to the place now where I will kindly refuse the gig because I just don’t enjoy shooting them.

I find them tedious and I hate standing around with a bunch of other photographers trying to get the “best shot” which ends up looking pretty much like the shots of the photographers standing to the left and right of me. I can’t help but feel that “paparazzi” thing either. The lighting is out of my control (and you know by now how much of a “light freak” I am.) The music is so loud sometimes, I can’t think. There’s no elbow room for error and it doesn’t pay that well. What’s the glory in all of it then? I don’t know. I would rather be sitting in the front row with a good view of the latest designs that will be strutting down the runway. I LOVE fashion design. Remember, I was originally going to become a fashion designer before I fell in love with photography. So for me, watching the show is way more fun than shooting it. BUT……..That’s just me! If you are planning on shooting a fashion show in the near future, here’s a few tips and links to some very useful posts and sites about the subject.

1.    Cover your ass! Bring an extra camera body for two reasons: A. So you can mount two different lens to get two different shots of the same outfit. B. Murphy’s Law: if your primary camera for whatever reason on Earth decides not to work at the exact minute the show starts, you can switch to your back up with very minimal stressing out.

2.   Depending on where you’re going to be standing, you’ll want to use a zoom lens with a range from between 24mm to 105mm. This is going to be a rare moment when I am actually going to advise using zoom lenses. They’re just more accommodating for this kind of shoot. Usually they place photographers at the end of the runway. You’ll want to get a full length shot of the model, a 3/4 shot, possibly a turning shot or back shot and hopefully a nice face shot, especially if the model’s wearing some great jewelry pieces or accessories.

3.   Bring a mono-pod. Save your arm. You can also use it as a weapon if one of those other aforementioned photographers gets out of hand. Seriously, I’ve seen it happen. I am only joking, but I’ve seen photographers go at it with their mono-pods. Uh….in my opinion, a fashion show is not really that important to get into a blood bath over.

4.   Make sure you have one of those on-camera flashes. With back up batteries. You can never count on their lighting set up.

5.  Bring plenty of memory cards. They fill up fast!

6.  Why not! Go ahead and shoot in auto-focus. I would.

I found this post on DPS had some really useful tips on shooting fashion shows:

How to Shoot A Fashion Show.

Fashion shows DO have a lot of energy. The music is loud and usually upbeat, the models are fun to watch, the clothes are usually more theatrical and dramatic. Here’s a video

Spring/Summer  2012 Chanel Show

They did things a little different at this show but you can jump on to style.com’s site and check out any number of other designer shows. Personally, I just happen to enjoy watching the shows more than shooting them. But again, that’s just me. To each his own and that’s what makes the world go around! If you have had some experience in shooting runways shows, leave a comment for the other readers. Your input is really welcomed!
