How to Find the Best Fashion Photographers

Finding the best Fashion Photographers for a photo shoot can be a demanding task especially after ease of access to digital photography and inexpensive DSLR cameras,  many amateur photographers claim to be professional photographers, when truth of the matter is that 99% of them never had a proper education or training.

 

NOT ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE CREATED EQUALLY!

 

Hopefully this article will help you hire the best Fashion Photographer for your next project. Things to consider are:

 

1-BODY OF WORK AND PORTFOLIO

Make sure you carefully review their portfolio , looking for creativity, style, versatility, technical delivery and lighting

 

2-EXPERIENCE

Best photographers in the world are the most seasoned ones…trust me on that, Experience matters!

 

3-ART DIRECTION AND VISION

The photographer’s style and art direction is what sets him and eventually his clients apart from the rest

 

4-DELIVERING AND EXECUTING THE CLIENT’S VISION

Experienced photographers have the ability to combine their client’s vision and their own artistic style to create a perfect result each and every time

 

5-HAVING A PERFECT TEAM IS VERY IMPORTANT

Making sure that your photographer has access to a team of hair, Makeup, and fashion stylists, post production and retouching experts that he or she trusts

 

6-IMAGE QUALITY

Must meet the highest standards, no matter shooting for magazine covers or giant billboards, delivering the best possible images are what any top photographer must be able to provide.

 

7-PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT AND STUDIO IS A MUST

Shooting on location or studio requires a certain amount of professional gears that will enhance and ensure the best results, lacking those equipment can effect the final look and they are important

 

8-PERSONALITY

Manners and communication skills to help directing his team and the models as well as working with clients can be crucial, make sure you take your time and talk to your selected photographers prior to hiring them.

 

9-FLEXIBILITY AND CREATIVITY

Since each photography project can have it’s own challenges, being able to cope with those constantly changing issues require a flexible and creative person

finding a photographer with those qualities can make a a big difference in the overall experience of your project

 

10-LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LIGHTING, LIGHTING & LIGHTING

How to find a Professional fashion photographer in Los Angeles

 

WITHOUT A PROPER LIGHTING, NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL THE CLOTHES,  MAKE UP OR THE MODELS…

The final images will not have the same look and impact as the ones that do have the proper lighting techniques. Each style of photography requires certain style of lighting and only a few top photographers in the world can deliver those visually breathtaking images that can help a brand to become instantly famous.

 

Taking beautiful images can be easy, but taking images that can help a company to become internationally famous take much more than just a good photographer, but a top experienced fashion advertising photographer that can deliver images that are universally appealing and recognizable

 

Brands such as Guess, Dior, Armani, Versacci, Cavalli, D&G etc…understand the concept of BRANDING and MARKETING through PHOTOGRAPHY

They spend millions of dollars on their ad campaigns, catalogs, lookbooks, magazine ads etc…not because they like to but because they have to stay competitive and on top pf their game in this ruthless world of FASHION and they only trust a few top fashion photographers in the world to deliver the job.

 

 

Next time you search for someone like that make sure that you pur Shaun Alexander Photography on your selected top photographers list. Shaun is truly a genius of his era with close to three decades of solid experience both in film and digital photography as well as Video production, Music video production, album covers, promotional branding videos, TV commercials and more

Album covers of LA Musicians by Los Angeles Music Photographer

With love for music, Shaun Alexander makes it worth his while to create state-of-the-art  CD covers, album covers and magazine covers that has contributed a lot in the careers of recording artists, especially in their popularity and desirability. He has photographed amazing album covers for Queen of Pop Madonna, Against All Odds singer Phil Collins, and long-time band U2 and many more. These covers have made headlines, or if not headlines, hit makers because of Shaun’s astounding music photography which he takes pleasure in shooting.

CD cover

Los Angeles Music Photographers Album covers, CD covers and Band portraits in LA

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 photographercan. 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.

Album Covers by Shaun Alexander Los Angeles Music Photographer

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.

Music Photograph of Montana Shane by LA Music Photographer Shaun Alexander

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.

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

Photography Lighting Workshops Los Angeles

PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHTING WORKSHOPS LOS ANGELES

Many photographers wonder what is the best lighting for beauty or fashion photography? Indoors or outdoors?
Strobes or continuous, incandescent or Fluorescent and I always say it makes no difference what type of lights is available to you as long as you know what to do with it.

In my 30+ years of professional life as a fashion photographer I have tried almost every possible lighting scenarios you can imagine, from a 10 dollar home depot halogen light to a $10.000 studio lights and I must say that I have managed to make some of the most interesting images with the cheapest lights

I still prefer the good old natural light over anything, no other lights can even come close to the most beautiful colors created by mother nature
Especially right before the sunset, or as we photographers call is the Magic hour!

No matter what type of light is going to light up your subject, the most crucial piece to a fantastic photography is your GLASS, by that I mean your lenses, and I have a few favorites, like my fixed 85mm 1.4 or even the 50mm 1.1 which would allow me to shoot in almost any lighting situation
Perhaps it is a good idea to have a small tripod with you at all times if you are planning to shoot at a low shutter and a higher aperture setting

I normally don’t like to go any lower than 1/60th of a second if I am shooting a live subject, but I also like longer exposure for interiors with available indoor lights like shooting inside a mall, or a building.

As you know the longer the exposure the crisper and more defined your none moving subjects going to be, but all of your moving subjects become either blurry, or if the exposure is long enough they will completely disappear from your shots.

The possibilities are endless once you get a better grasp of your lighting as well as your camera’s setting.
Film or digital, photography and photographers are only as good as their imaginations.

Photography has always been my passion and the biggest part of my life, and if anyone asked me for a few pointers, I’d say to them

1-Expand your horizons by looking at great master photographers work
2-Shoot something every day
3-Never settle for mediocre shots
4-Create a great team
5-Think outside of the box
6-Own a few great lenses
7-Make images that you will be proud of
8-Create your own style
9-Be open to challenges
10-And finally, Understand your blacks, whites and mid-tones

and if you do that, you should be in a great shape and have some amazing images
