Starting at the low-budget end of the spectrum, the venerable Cactus V2s trigger has now been replaced by a newer model, the Cactus V4, which introduces several improvements in physical design.

Glamour photography is for those with a passion for fashion and beauty. It’s intended to create an essence that is perhaps exaggerated from real life. It’s a fun technique that at first glance seems so easy to do. Remember it’s the same person with just different cloth on and a different hair style maybe. Maybe add a little makeup. It does not take much. Before we come to our views of the subject, however, we would like to acknowledge the presence of the controversy existing over the candid versus the controlled pose. Some directors contend they never direct their subject. ‘To place a head or a mouth in a pre-determined position,’ they say, ‘would destroy all of the spontaneity and naturalness of the picture.’ Continue reading “Glamour photography” »

A fashion photographer photographs models of all age groups, day in and day out. Did you know, it is not just photography that makes a good fashion photograph?

The photographer needs to concern himself with elements such as the lenses and the cameras used, the background, the composition and the lighting. Those are his areas of expertise. The model needs to show up fresh and radiant for the shoot. Finally the make up artist has to work towards covering up the model’s bad negative qualities and enhancing his or her positive features.
