A Day In The Life Of A Wedding And Fashion Photographer - Talk About On Steemit #7

Hello Friends, this is something we are excited to share with whole community,
Fashion photography is undoubtedly one of the most glamorous niches any photographer could ever wish to pursue. Those that make it to the top not only get to shoot gorgeous models and celebrities, but many of them also earn a lot doing it.

However, if you’re an aspiring fashion photographer, you probably know it’s not only hard to make it to the top, but starting in the industry in itself can be difficult.

Nevertheless, if you work hard and have the right attitude, nothing is impossible. In this article, we’ll share with you crucial fashion photography tips that will help you achieve your goals.

It can be challenging to collaborate with other artists if you don’t have photos that show what you can do. So before you start contacting models, stylists, and make-up artists, make sure you take a lot of fashion-themed pictures. Doing so will make it easier for people to decide if they want to work with you.

To start, you can look at magazines, fashion websites, and even Instagram for inspiration. Study how famous photographers compose their shots, and recreate them. The goal is not to copy the photos exactly, but to familiarize yourself with the creative and technical aspects of fashion photography.

The age-old argument of prime lenses versus zoom lenses. There is no simple answer. They both offer you something a little bit different. Comparing an 85 mm prime lens to a 70-100 zoom lens is only similar in the way that they both shoot at an 85 mm focal length.

Yet, the 85 mm prime lens will be sharper and will house a faster, larger f/stop, such as f/1.4. The zoom, although versatile is less likely to have such a large aperture. The quality when shooting at 85 mm might not be as sharp either.

There are no magic camera settings that will take that perfect picture for you. Luckily, you can set your camera up to meet you at least halfway.

The main thing you should do (and continue to do all the time) is to always shoot in raw. This stores more photographic data in the image and gives you more ‘play’ in post-processing.

Use the single shot setting, not burst. This seems counterproductive when you have a fast-moving subject which you definitely need to capture. But, keeping your finger on the button means you can not frame and re-frame as needed. It will also eat up your hard drive space like a champ.

White balance is very important. This is something you need to do before the show has started, not when the show is in full swing. Be a scout and make sure you are prepared.

Now that you have an idea for a shoot, you can ask a few friends if they’d like their portraits taken. You’re bound to make mistakes when you’re still learning, so you might as well do it around people you’re comfortable with.

You don’t have to produce hundreds of pictures right away. Having a dozen images is enough as long as you cover a broad spectrum of styles. With just a few photos, demonstrate that you can shoot anything from black and white fashion photography to editorial fashion photography. Depending on the job, you may need to obtain a photo release form.
