Twiggy says, “You always must connect with the photographer.”

Twiggy gives the best advive on ANTM.

We have to fall in love to get good pictures, if only for a little while.

Compositing is everything.

Saturday, 28. April 2007 21:58

I learned to value layering effects when I was into computer animation in the mid-90′s. The concepts of good compositing translate to fashion photography and many other art forms.

Complex things tend to look more special.

If it looks like it took a long time to do by hand, that’s less common now than it used to be, so there is value assumed. Add considered detail to make things look expensive. Just don’t over-do it.

What is an editorial?

Saturday, 28. April 2007 21:56

This was my response to a photography forum post asking “what is an editorial?”

An editorial tells a story, argues a point, focuses on an issue. Like a written editorial, a photographic editorial expresses a position on an idea. It is an editorial comment, a note from the artist or editor or publisher. Someone is communicating an idea through the images.
