Lighting Pt 2 (Fashion Photography): Image Bank

Toni Frissell (Antoinette Frissell-Bacon)was a photographer from New York known for her fashion, WWII, and portrait photography.Her fashion photographs are known for typically being taken outside, "emphasizing active women." She later worked for Sports Illustrated, one of the only women to do so, and also worked at Life Magazine. She died of Alzheimer's in 1988. I chose this picture because I loved the way that the water made the dress flow, and the whole image is very serene. The image spoke to me, I liked how dramatic it was, without being over the top.

I chose this image because I liked the way she displayed the shoes in an unconventional way. The model also seems to display the emotion of the shoes, what the product would make you feel if you buy them (whether this was intended or not). It's very simple, but dramatic.

He is the only cover photographer for Vogue Italia, and also shoots from American Vogue, Calvin Klein, Versace, Valentino, and many more designers. He also shoots all Prada Campaigns. He started out as a fashion illustrator, and took pictures of models as a hobby, since he didn't think he was good enough to do it professionally. Later, these models used his pictures in their portfolios, and Seventeen saw these and asked him to photograph for them. I chose this picture (shot for Prada) because it was very eye-catching. The colors are all very light, and the darkest hue is the model's lipstick and the suitcases, which are all very subtle. These function as the "highlights" of the picture, which I think works very well. The model also seems to convery the "personality" of the designer well, and I think it's a very effective ad campaign.
