Fashion Photography

When is an image a Portrait when is it a fashion photograph?

It is when you turn the camera to its side and you get a main focus on someone's face capturing there personality's or emotion.

When you take a full photo of someone who's wearing fashionable or clothing and you take a picture of what the person is wearing, instead of getting a more focus on the emotion on the face.


To what degree should an image manipulated to go into a fashion magazine?

There was a bit too much Photoshop, they changed the way the model looked, the moved her head up and moved the hair and eye brows. The make up and other things are okay to do but don't change too much or make it too sharp.


  This image is wrong because they have completely changed the way this women looks and they shouldn't have done this as it can affect someone as they could think they are unattractive or something, they have made her face smaller, moved her eyes and changed her teeth and airbrushed her.




Is there a clash between the Creative and Commercial side fashion Photography?

The clash is between Anna Wintour (Commercial) and Grace Coddington (Creative).
Commercial win the argument and I agree with commercial because someone of the pictures that grace chose were really good but Anna took them out because she didn't like them.
