Fashion photography is all about fantasy. It is about creating an alternate

reality, even if that the reality is just a enhanced version of what already exists.

Fashion photography can be what you may are interested to be:

■ It can be Zen-like and peaceful, or it can be rebellious and in your face.

■ It can be delicate and refined, or it can be tough and gritty.

■ It can be quiet and moderate, or it can be bold and colorful.

Fashion is about fantasy-whatever fantasy you envision. As a shooter,

this freedom is really rewarding.

The ability to create fantasy attracts many clients. Most people don’t want

to just look like themselves in a symbol; they want to look like the “perfected”

version of themselves, or also the version of themselves they see in their

mind. People usually don’t desire the truth; they desire the fantasy. They can

have the reality any day, but they come to you to create what they wish they

could be or experience what they wish they could have.
