This show was so fun! Roxy is an absolute delight and was such a wonderful guest. If you aren’t familiar with Roxy’s work, you can see her portfolio here. She was a contestant on Top Photographer and was a fan favorite. Roxy reviewed your fashion photos with us this week.
You may have heard rumors of Tony and Chelsea being the cheese couple, you can see why here.
Next week’s topic is animals! And Cowboy was in the studio with T&C.
We start the show off with some photo news:
- we got a bunch of new cameras in, so keep an eye out for reviews and tutorials
- Tony and Justin drink rum on the air
- presidential photos are ridiculous
- Pentax KP
- Sony sale: alphauniverse.com/winter2017
- Wanderlust! Go watch our show, http://sdp.io/WL1 send us your own submission at sdp.io/travel
Now to your pictures, here are our favorites and some fashion photography tips:
- pay attention to details! Hair ties, nails, etc.
- coat
- “I think her arms are looking great, but her knees need work.”
- great tips on styling here
- a big theme this show seems to be mismatching the clothes and the setting
Time for a portfolio! Daniel Skog, you get a man card. Maybe combine your categories and pare down photos. Your architecture is a stand out.
They get real weird with the Squarespace ad here.
Now over to me for your questions:
- how do you define fashion vs lifestyle or boudoir? Attitude. Tell a story in an image that fashion is just an element of.
- what percentage of your shots are planned vs incidental? Roll with the punches, it can go either way.
Back to photos:
- glamour, frokeh
- “fashion is so boring”
- cloning out stray hair is hard
- lots of people shooting with the 50mm f/1.8
- Roxy has shot with a 60D almost her whole career with a manual lens! Then Adorama gave her a 5D Mark IV.
- Chelsea sings some Journey
- bored dude
- howbouda?
Back to me for some questions:
- my dog tries to break into my house
- how do you style, shoot and model yourself? Don’t! Get a team.
- what do you do when you shoot a model but it doesn’t come out well and you don’t want to share the photos? Tell the model they can share it without your name!
- is it harder to do a creative shoot when you don’t like the fashion? Yes.
Back to some last photos:
A few more questions from you before we head out:
- how to get paid shoots as an experienced photog? Act like you have clients! Do test shoots to fill out your portfolio, shoot what you’re looking to get hired for.
- Roxy, the colors in your photos? Use color to tell the story you want for that shoot.
And that’s our show! Check out Roxy and follow her on Instagram. It was great to meet her and we look forward to working with her in the future!
