Fashion Photography

Above is Tocarra an Americas next top Model contestant who actually won the show as a big girl and represented plus size models in a positive way. this is one of the shots from the show which she took and i can see a lot of discomfort , the fear factor of having a huge tarantula crawling on your hand and she managed to stay calm and pull of the look they were going for, i love this image it says a lot about the bravery that fashion models have to show in order to produce their best work.

Fashion Photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing and other items of fashion and it is most often conducted for Fashion magazines and advertisements.

I personally enjoy it because it is very bold and creative, nowadays fashion photography goes beyond just showing off the garment, there is more to it, there are now teams of designers, make up artists, and stylists working very hard to make the image very interesting. the poses and body postures used nowadays are very uncomfortable and eccentric, but the final image is always stunning. there are a number of photographers whose work i enjoy in Fashion and i will be looking at their work and stating what stands out from their work and what it is that makes me tick about their work.

Rankin

This is one of my favourite fashion photographers Rankin. The British photographer is very unique and like to try things that have never been done before, Rankin likes to push the boundaries and be creative with every picture he produces. In the programme 7 photographs which changed Fashion he basically recreates a number of existing famous fashion photographs which are well respected in the fashion world, also these images have been  taken by very famous photographers of the past. 

On the left is the original image shot by Blumenfield for the Vogue front cover. It is a classic image in which Rankin has recreated and put his own little twist to it adding more bolder make up and also shifting things and including certain aspect which other people wouldn't dare to change about the original image and Rankin's has crossed this border ad actually made his recreation a better version. i lover Rankin's version it is more up to date and i feel like i can relate to it more, and actually get excited by it. it has a lot more going on it is not boring and it is way sexier than the original shot.
