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.
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.
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

New York Photography Workshops
The Guess ad campaign Editorials shot by Shaun Alexander, fashion photographer , ranked the most successful fashion editorial shoot by many fashion experts and magazine editors for 2012 . Shaun conforms lighting to the type of ad, the background, the model’s features, and the product. He gives what the ad needs, resulting to a dramatic, yet high end and glamorous advertisement such as of Guess.
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.

A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BIG SHOW
You want to know the truth about shooting fashion shows? Honestly, I don’t shoot them. But I have in the past, especially when I was first started my career as a photographer. The thing is that if you are a fashion photographer, this is going to come up sooner or later and you will be asked as some point to either attend a fashion show or shoot them, or many times you may just be asked by your favorite designer clients or friends to do them a big favor, Or you may really want to head in that direction with your career. But after so many years, I just realized that shooting fashions shows are tedious and very demeaning. Standing around with a bunch of photographers trying to get the same exact shot as the guy standing next to you is not very creative or exciting, almost like the “paparazzi” photographers
I much rather be sitting in the front row where a respectable fashion photographer should be sitting to enjoy a good view of the latest designs and gorgeous top models strutting down the runway.
I LOVE fashion design and Fashion shows , but not shooting them!
Not many people know that I was originally interested and I still am 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 on how to go about it…
1. Cover your behind! Bring an extra camera body for two reasons: A. So you can mount two different lenses 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 200mm. 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:
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!
