Fashion photography can mean and look like all kinds of things. it can be, colourful so the main feature is on show and the first thing that you look at when seeing the image.
It can also be a very dramatic picture, meaning that the whole picture has allot of power coming out of the image when you look at it, the power can be made by the model in the picture having a strong pose or allot of colour.
You can get sucked into the image and think that the person in the picture is actually that "glamorous" or "beautiful" but almost every picture in magazines you will see will have been airbrushed, changed or photoshoped in some way shape or form.
Photography, (fashion photography in particular) has a big influence on people and there image.
you don't see models in picture that are "fat" or "chubby", they always have "the perfect body". When really they have lumps and bumps and arn`t perfect, but the use of technology makes them look that way and it makes people wish that they looked like that. Allot of people including me think that its wrong to change the person by using technology, they should just be left how they are, no one has that "perfect" image that appears in magazines.
The September Issue
The September Issue is a film/documentary about how life is in the world of photography etc. It shows you how fashion has changed over the years and how things come back from different years and into the clothes we wear and see today.
The fashion world is quite harsh and you have to be the best of the best to be involved with it. It includes allot of criticism and hard work. The film shows the Chief of "Vogue" magazine Anna Wintour. She is a woman who knows what she wants and knows whats best for the magazine. Shes good at her job even though the way she can direct everything is at times very harsh.
She decides what going on and in the magazine. The people under her all work very hard to get the magazine together and do all the really hard work, then they show Anna all there hard work, and if Anna doesn't like it then it wont go anywhere. Its surprising at the few shots that didn't make it into the Vogue magazine.
