| Anastasia Snow - Sigma 85mm, f/1.4 Art |
I was mentioning, elsewhere, that I'm a portrait photographer and not a fashion photographer. It got me to thinking about what that means.
The fashion photographer's goal is to emphasise a look. The fashion is the star (or at least the co-star). For a portrait photographer, the model is the star. The outfit is like the environment — important, but not the object of the exercise.
In fashion, the model is in service to the clothes (or jewellery, etc); in portraiture the environment and the outfit are in service to the model.
Happily, Art can be hiding in either.
