London Fashion Week is underway, and a lot of the people I follow on social media are there, taking over brands’ social media accounts, taking pictures, looking good. I’m currently sitting on a comfy chair in my bedroom with absolutely no plans to go anywhere this weekend, and I think if you touched me my relief would actually rub off Continue Reading

Daylight hours may be getting shorter as we enter September but the days are just packed. Photokina is a little over a week away and as expected, the announcements are beginning to ramp up. Last week, Sony’s new QX cameras drummed up a lot of attention, IFA in Berlin produced a number of promising smartphone announcements, Canon’s lenses got cheaper (sort of) and the bird was the word when the 2014 British Wildlife Photography Awards were announced. See what you may have missed in our look back at the last seven days

It’s been a busy week and as we head into a long weekend here in the US, it seemed like a good time to take a look back at everything that’s happened in the past seven(ish) days. With new products from Fujifilm, Olympus and Ricoh, Photokina fever is definitely taking hold. And the week wasn’t without an oddball moment or two, including the emergence of Sony’s Asia-only ‘perfume bottle selfie camera.’ Relive the highs, the lows, the weird and the wonderful with us, in this slideshow.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this week’s Photo of The Week selection. We are so glad that we brought back this old favorite back to FashionPhotographyBlog.com because it reminded us that there is so much talent out there. We want to say a big congratulations to Amanda Lim for winning this week’s Photo Of The Week. It was a really close this week, where most of the week three photographers were neck and neck to take out the title. It was rather suspenseful. In the end Amanda’s photo was crowned.
We really love the way the photo encapsulated the theme of Valentines, with the hues of pink, but also the movement and drama created by the drapery flowing effortlessly contrasted with the static contrapposto pose of the female model. She stands strong in the picture like a divine goddess while the fabric writhes around her like a serpent around her body. So much intensity in one photo.
I think the styling and the make up suits the photo perfectly – effortless, romantic and feminine (and by feminine, I mean a strong warrior woman). The model is standing her ground while chaos or whimsy is whipping around her. There is a powerful tone present in this photo but also a sense of serenity, and I find the contrast absolutely inspiring and exciting.
The lighting that’s shining top down on the model’s face places emphasis on her majestic cheek bones and beautifully highlights the tone in her arms, the sleekness of her figure, folds in the dress as well as catching the fabric flowing around her body.
We are proud to present the first winner of our revived Photo of The Week competition. As the winner of this week, Amanda is being featured here on FashionPhotographyBlog.com and have her work critiqued. Not only that she will also appear on our social media sites as well.
This coming week we have another round of Photo Of The Week and we are continuing the Valentines theme… why just celebrate for one day when February can be the “Month of Love”? To participate and vote, make sure you “like” our Facebook page.

Whenever I spend enough time shadowing a photographer, I end up lusting for gear. Don't judge me: you probably wouldn't be reading Strobist if you didn't have the same problem.
A week spent with Heisler had me definitely interested in playing around with gels, made me want to trade my octabank for a strip light, definitely added a tilt-shift lens to my wish list, but what impressed me the most is what he calls "the unsung hero of light modifiers": the narrow beam reflector.
