Fashion & LF

[fenderbja]

I was inspired to start this based on a thread I saw in the January portraits.
Anybody have a contribution?
I'll start with an excerpt from a project I did in 2007 in Paris, shot on a converted Polaroid and T-Max 400.

Great image - I love it.

I'd love more details on the ring light.
I haven't seen too many set up examples of ring light and LF. You say its mounted on the lens?

It maybe helpful to get technical with fashion shots. Three sources (euww). Getting some directional light out of gridded dish. A little ring-light mounted on the lens to get some darker edges and and umbrella for the background. 4x5 Ektachrome. Underexposed and pushed in E6.

Wow! Simply stunning!

.......... I am skeptical that anyone can really make a living from doing creative fashion photography outside of the largest cities or without a lot of backing.

A while back The Gazette ran a story on the break page of the business section on the marketing behind Le Chateau, a large Montreal clothing retailer.
The main picture was of the web designer shooting in the inhouse studio. She was huddled over a Rebel xti or some such camera.

That contract use to go to real photographer.

It seems a fotog now shoots only the billboard type shots and the rest is done by the very young and talented inhouse staff web designer.
