I Have a Passion for Fashion Photography

One important aspect of photography is the historical significance of taking a moment in time and preserving it. While another just as important facet is its creative contribution to the arts.

My work in photography includes documentation of nature, photojournalism, creative/ artistic light graffiti photography as well as digital manipulation.

I am inspired by other artists and creatives. So you can imagine how elated I was to come across these wonderful images where literature and photography intersect by a woman whose work I admire.

Vogue‘s September issue 2012

Vogue’s September issue features a literary inspired photoshoot on Edith Wharton’s estate in Lenox, Massachusetts, featuring Jeffrey Eugenides, Junot Diaz and Jonathan Safran Foer shot by Annie Leibovitz. I am really loving these images. Source

While Fashion photography is created with the purpose to sell clothes it doesn’t have to be limited by it. I have a Pinterest board of the most phenomenal images from fashion photographers HERE with many examples of creativity.

If you are a fashion photographer, I would love to connect with you.

Here are two examples of well known fashion photographers for some creative inspiration.

“Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.” Marc Riboud

“To the complaint, ‘There are no people in these photographs,’ I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.” Ansel Adams

“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” Henri Cartier-Bresson
