Photographer David Surowiecki shot photos of model, Linda Vojtova, for Elle Magazine in Prague. I clicked on this photograph because I'm interested in taking fashion photography. The image screams at the viewer with popping colors and her hair is pretty big as well. The photo shoot took place in New York, where the model actually lives. Before the shoot, Surowiecki got together with the magazine to discuss two photo stories to shoot. I learned in a fashion shoot, direction for a photo comes from the current style, which includes model outfit, hair and makeup.
I also enjoyed looking at the photographer's contact sheet to see what the photographer was seeing. It's awesome knowing every photo came out great. My contact sheets usually contain intervals of blurry photos followed by sharp ones.
"As far as reviewing the photos during a shoot, I almost never shoot tethered to a computer, and more and more, I try not to look at my camera screen too much." Surowiecki said in the
article.
I want to get to that point where I don't have to look at my camera after every photo I take, by knowing which f-stop and shutter speed to use.
Surowiecki said you have to "feel the shot" and be in the "mood" during the photoshoot to
help you know what lighting, location, posing and style to use.
He said shooting an editorial fashion shoot isn't very different from an editorial portrait shoot. The only difference is in fashion shoots, you're trying to tell a story with 10 photos that feel connected and go together.
One day, this will be my job.
I really think this is a great photo. I love the colors that were used, and how they are not colors that would normally complement each other, but in this photo the neon green and Maroon colors do just that. I myself love to experiment with different color combination, that are a little out of the ordinary. I also like the pose, and how tight the shot is.
ReplyDeleteI love the abstract from the background. It adds a lot of depth to the color of the girl's dress.
