Inspiration: Quotes from David LeslieAnthony Interview on Fashion Photography Blog
Read a very insightful interview on Melissa Rodwell’s Fashion Photography Blog with David Leslie Anthony. It’s a must read for all us young guns working our way into fashion photography. Here are some pull quotes that stuck on me:
People who are afraid of “giving out knowledge” have no knowledge to give.
When I read comments from young photographers about how they consider “their own work amazing”, 10 out of 10 times…it’s utter crap! WHEN you become “self-satisfied” with your own work, you have stopped growing!
I don’t need a bunch of JAFOS on my shoots. What does JAFO mean?? Just Another Fucking Observer.
Don’t mistake “a photographer’s style” as how a photograph looks. The visual imagery will change every season just like fashion AND life changes. A “photographer’s style” is how they see things, how they view the world, how they view music, life, sex, the people they love and have loved, etc. THIS all goes into creating a “style”. “Style” is a viewpoint. If you look at my work, see the kind of models I book, the strength in how I have them move, what I get out of the shoot. THAT is my “style”. The physical look is simply that. The look I chose for that particular shoot.
