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.
