In fashion photography, you allow your subjects

In fashion photography, you allow your subjects to become part of a piece of

art. There are no constraints and no right answers. I love fashion photography

because of the freedom it allows. I can envision anything I need and make it

come to fruition through photography. If I want to create an image of a girl

wearing a huge wig with rain and haze surrounding her, there is nothing stopping me.

In fact, I have done that very shoot, as welcomed in Figure I. 1. I had a vision, and

I desired to bring the vision of this beauty alive. That type of creativity and

freedom is issuing. Fashion photography has no constraints.

Introduction

xiv Fashion Sparkle for Symbol and Wedding Photography

If you can imagine it, you can create it. You are not restricted to what exists, because

you can modify your subject or environment in Photoshop. You can put subjects

on an entirely different background, change the color of the clothes they are wearing,

make them skinnier, and do pretty much anything you can imagine.

Why This Book

Tens of thousands of people want to become fashion professional photographers. There are

even Television shows about them. But the field is just not practical for most people.

It is rather competitive, with unrealistic career demands for most individuals.

You need to be happy to travel a lot, live in a big city, work odd hours, and

often put up with a lot of stress.
