I could do this kind of photography. I really could.
I just lack a few things.
Equipment: I lack a huge softbox which what the guy is holding up.
Photography Assistant: I don't have one, at least not one who could hold that softbox that I don't have.
Fashion Model: Nothing against my women, but as pretty and sweet as the are, they are not trained models.
Fashion Wardrobe: Once again, my women may have nice duds, but really now.
Contract that would pay me for all of the above
And perhaps I don't have a Perfect Location although I think I might be able to manage that.
So yeah. I'm just about there: on the cusp of fashion photography greatness.
Sure thing.
Really now: how many people would benefit from such a tutorial? If you were a casual amatuer like me, would you even contemplate doing this? Or if you were already a pro with the necessary equipment, would you even need the lesson?
As you know AC my late husband was a LIFE photographer back in the 50's. He told me that lighting was always a challenge … of course he was not talking about a fashion shot like the one you showed.
ReplyDeleteLighting is a huge challenge. Sunlight is not a photographer’s friend.
ReplyDeleteAs an amateir photographer, I notice that sunlight is the worst for good pictures. High overcast works great. Are you wanting to become a fashion photographer? :-)
ReplyDeletei am only interested in the tutorials for software I use. I have not interest in taking it to the next level. I find this a hobby for my personal passion even though I have sold a few for minimal money.
ReplyDeleteGood questions there at the end!
ReplyDeleteThat's a hysterically funny response! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a tiny light box. I don't have anything small enough to use it with.
ReplyDeleteNo and no. I once took a whole course on how to use available light to the best advantage. And you already do.
ReplyDeleteSheesh.
I wouldn't go for that.
