Manufacturer's Samples & Designer Apperal
Its time for me to raise the bar on my portfolio and start using high end fashion apperal in some of my shoots. What... How... is the best way to acquire these fashions? Is it the sylists who have these connections or do I have to make some of my own? My portfolio needs fashion help before I can start presenting it to agencies. Thanks, JeffM Jan 27 06 10:43 am Link I think you could do either. I have worked with photographers who had great connections. It might be easier to see if you could find a stylist. Not only may they have the connections, but they know how the clothes should be worn. They will know what accessories and shoes to use. They will make sure the clothes are steamed, threads are cut off, lint is rolled off. And hopefully they won't show up with everything that was in the window at the local Forever 21. I am not knocking the 21, but everything in moderation. Including cheap clothing. Jan 27 06 03:10 pm Link JeffM wrote: Well for one you could let me style a few shoots.

I do know a few photographers with some killer connections, but they are usually the ones that shoot fashion shows and shoot the couture clothings for the desisgners/boutiques sites.

LOL!!! Get a fashion stylist and enjoy working with other artist such as yourself. Jan 29 06 10:25 pm Link |
