Fashion photography-unravelling the mystery

Fashion magazines open up a mysterious world for most people, as they set them wondering how models can look so perfect. But, we know that nothing is perfect. Let us see what goes into attaining this perfection. It all starts with a concept. If a fashion designer wants to promote his latest spring fashion, he will endeavour to make his fashion ideas as appealing as possible to entice customers to buy them. Next, in keeping with the spring theme, the models will have to be photographed in a field. So, the experts set about the task of finding a scenic field. Then the search for suitable models begins. This part is handled by the modelling agencies or perhaps the designer has a personal favourite. These models are stick thin because the final pictures shown to you are with an additional couple of pounds, which is due to photography effect. On location the models have to apply makeup, which depends on what looks the designer is searching for. So, you may get to see models in extraordinary makeup. An important factor in fashion photography is lighting. Even though a camera flash can do a lot, many times photographers wait for the right amount of sunlight to get the perfect picture. Often fashion photography sessions last the whole day since it is painstakingly done. Numerous pictures are clicked and only the best are finally selected for the magazines. The pictures are also manipulated so the flawless skin that you see may actually be the magic of editing software. You can depend on fashion photography to give you some inkling of the fashion clothing but do not completely go by it because what you see in the photographs is very different from what they appear in the stores. So, do take a peek into the stores to get a feel of the reality. For more such articles visit http://www.digitalphotographywiz.com
