Our first commercial shoot was inspired by Dave Hill's Vanity Fair Hollywood  Edition Photo Shoot.

We have studied other fashion and commercial photographers. Some students chose well known fashion photographers for their Masters of Photography project. (for example, Irvin Penn)

I am including an ongoing list of photographers and sites for your group to use.
In the second section of the Dave Hill documentary, Hill shot Film Noir inspired images. I have included photographer George Hurrell so that you can learn more about this time period.
You can search Vogue Magazine's photographer list and see Irvin Penn and many others.

We watched a few Annie Leibovitz videos, including this B-Roll video. How did the production team improve the photo?

We also learned how to use a softbox different ways.
