Introduction
Fashion photography is usually in a series to advertise something
Go to a library and get as many libraries as you want
Libraries might even have things available online
Magazine spreads create contrast, variation and continuity
Contrast & Variation
Contrast captures attention
Black & White vs. Color
Putting these in the same image captures attention
Contrast in poses, which part is photographed
Show full body, waist up and face only.
Front, side, 3/4 posing.
When looking, ask: what’s the same, what’s different, what’s tying them together?
Camera-aware vs. non-aware. (So where subjects are both looking at and another where the subjects are looking away from the camera.)
Looking away = creating a story, and some mystery.
Looking to = portraiture.
Big color blocks
Simplifies design but attracts attention
