Fifth Fashion Look

It's time for me to oh wow this looks so beautiful I just bring you up for a second now she has really evolved do you remember the last shot of her before lunch now look at everything has changed that's because the team feels good we're all creating and who doesn't like creating something look at the lines of this the texture of this of this garment of a flat light I would lose that but this hard light shows me all the details and you can see with your eye from here if I had an umbrella I would not get this how do you feel this is so yes you feel different she feels different which makes it very easy for me to get that her feelings different it was easy for me to capture the images in my story board to find the opposites the complimentary images that work together to tell my story and this stuff is fun and it's unique it's your view you can't do this again somebody sees it they can't copied exactly you can't copy the feeling in this room it happens once and that's it matthew authority ...

another question while they're finishing up there absolutely uh p l s on uh do do we need to know some some form of terminology oh gee that is commonly used in fashion and design and if so how would we do that? We need to learn any form of terminology and in that world you learn it by being around it is learned by being around it by a by being around the makeup bars and stylists and what's great about the fashion industry the crew norma comes from all over the world it's ah very international industry so before you know you were saying things like oh I'm going to the loo uh no so there's no like learning terminology you just learn it as you're on the set and it just happens that's basically it you learn all the terms about the gear is well by being around the industry and it was kind of funny is that the photo industry and the movie industry use a lot of the same equipment but call the pieces different things but you just learned by being around it and you pick it up it's like slaying you just you just pick it up wow! Wow! Wow!

Thanks Matthew for the super informative courses. I'm from Thailand and I'm very impress with the way you speak. It is super clear and very easy to understand. Your answers to each questions are extremely inspirational. I think you are the best teacher on photographing so far on Creative Live. Each of your answers and information are very motivational and very thoughtful. Thanks again for this great Live broadcast. You are a great teacher and a very nice warm person as well.

This course has been an awesome experience. I have learned so much about the process of beauty and fashion photography. Matthew takes the viewer through the preliminary thought process. He not only covers the technical aspects but also the importance of the photographic team itself--the stylist, makeup artist, model and photo assistants. The photographer plus the team equals magic. I do not use the term amazing lightly. This man is AMAZING and INSPIRING! Thanks to Matthew, I feel confident that I will find my own vision.
