Fashion Photography

Fashion Photography is the area of photography that concentrates on taking pictures of clothing or accessories (on models or alone) to be published in fashion magazines, advertisements or circulated among designers. Famous fashion magazines include Vogue, Elle and InStyle.


Adolph de Meyer (1 September 1868 - 6 January 1949) Adolph de Meyer is considerd the first fashiom photographer, In 1893 he joined the Royal Photographic Society and moved to London in 1895.
here are some examples of his work over the years



To what degree should the image be manipulated to go into a fashion magazine?


I believe that it is okay for models and celebrity's to have things such as blemishes, spots and  wrinkles photo shopped away, however I do not believe they should be made to look thinner and body parts should not be changed as their image could be seen by certain people who want to look like that when it's not really possible, this in the past has lead many people especially females to have eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia.

    You have given accurate and substantially complete description of photographic applications and associated techniques in relation to past and contemporary photographic practice.

    To obtain a Merit grade you would need to use technical vocabulary and your work would need to show clear reference to a range of detailed illustrative examples in each photographic style.
