David LaChappelle, This is My House, 1997

Hi Everybody!

In preparation for this coming weekend's collaborative shoot with the Fashion Styling class, I wanted to share some resources with you. These are all fairly quick reads, so please take a look before Saturday so that you come to class ready to go!

The History of Fashion Photography (this is a longer read, but will give you a great overview of the history of fashion photography, along with some inspiring images)

5 Quick Tips (this really sums up the key parts of what you'll be doing on Saturday-- collaborating with a stylist, developing the look, scouting a location and shooting

Everything You Need to know for a Successful Fashion Shoot This has great ideas for how to take the next step after Saturday's class. There is also a helpful list that I'll include at the end of this post.

10 Composition Tips This covers most of the same compositional techniques that we've discussed, but puts them into a specifically fashion context.

7 Lessons Learned on My First Fashion Shoot This has some great insights from a photographer after his first fashion job.

From the "Everything You Need to Know..." article, here is a list of things that you'll want to discuss with your partner stylist before shooting:

  • subject matter
  • location
  • mood
  • lighting
  • aesthetic
  • styling
  • hair
  • make-up
  • any references for theme or time period, if applicable

  • This should get you started! If you have any questions or want to share some of your favorite fashion photos or inspirations, please feel free to post them to the blog.
