I just wanted to share some thoughts with you regarding getting in to the Fashion and Photo Business with the hope that you garner some sense of perspective regarding this subject.<\/p>\n

First of all, from my vantage point and experience, technical savvy will have to be a foregone conclusion, unless you are Karl Lagerfeld and have the money to pay a lighting person and a tech support person to work with you on the shoots. There are many photographers that made it to the top of the heap with literally no technical expertise. They had a flare for putting things together in a way that was novel and unique. I will not name some of these photographers in fear of being sued for slander. None the less, I will say that if you can “SEE<\/p>\n

” in a manner that is different to the norm and don’t get too bogged down in technique, that is a good start. If there is a technical challenge based on a theme that you wish to explore and do not know how to accomplish it, you can research how it might be done.<\/p>\n

My m\u00e9tier is a very complex and convoluted road of diplomacy, creativity, networking, nepotism and intestinal fortitude. It isn’t the kind of career you start by saying, what gear will I need and how much will I need to invest financially to succeed. It is an art form, that necessitates a passion and a longing to express ones self through story telling. Great Fashion\/Beauty\/Still Life images are not a cataloguing of products. It is the creation of an image to set a precedent in the social fabric. Very much like music and film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
