KirillWasHere Wins PaperMag’s Best Nightlife Photographer Award!

Samantha Lim — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:26:17 +0000

Congrats to our favorite nightlife photographer Kirill Bichutsky of KirillWasHere for winning PaperMag‘s 2011 Best Nightlife Photographer Award! Considered our next of kin at FashionIndie, it hasn’t been long since our days of sneaking into parties together (via the DJ) so we could booze for free and he could snap our friends in their most candid moments. My how things have changed! Now he’s being flown VIP around the world to shoot the biggest celebs, coolest kids, and hottest ladies that pass his lens. Who says you can’t make money off of having fun and doing what you love? We couldn’t be happier for our boozey little Russian, and hope for much bigger things to come. Here’s a gallery of our favorite moments of 2011 (sans boobies so it is safe for work, for the NSFW goods, visit his site!).

The Politics of Fashion Photography Part 24 Model Agencies

Benjamin Kanarek — Sat, 28 May 2011 18:50:24 +0000

A Few Interesting Tips from Benjamin Kanarek Blog by Frédérique Renaut

There are some interesting adages one might wish to use in describing relationships with model agencies. I have dealt with all of them and the one thing I can say is this; It is not so much the model agency, but the bookers who work for the model agencies that will leave you a lasting impression about them.

Now that may seem obvious, but it really isn’t at all, as bookers move from agency to agency more often than passengers on a subway line. Yeah, I am exaggerating, but it is very often. Thus, when you think you have built up a solid relationship with a booker at an agency and find out that she left for another, the reality of this move is worse than you might imagine. Not only have they left the agency, but quite often, come of the talent from that agency leaves with them. Not add insult to injury, being that the politic in model agencies are what they are, there is a good chance that trying to establish a solid working relationship with another booker may be problematic, as they may be jealous that you didn’t give them your time and decided to book via someone else.

The above example is not an exaggeration, as I have experienced this time and time again.

Something else you must be made aware of is a kind of bait and switch technique, that is used often to get you to book a model with less notoriety than that with whom you really want to work with. How does that work you ask? Well, let’s say you are casting for “So & So” magazine. You ask for suggestions for girls available for the magazine. They send you 8 or 9 models and in that choice there are a couple of Top Models. You get all excited and say, yes, please put an option on so and so for “So & So” magazine. They say, “we will try, but in case they are not available, why don’t you also consider so and so as well”. Most photographers won’t want to be impolite and generally say, perhaps why not.

Well you are now only a few days away from the shoot. You have a good 2nd option on those two Top Models. Well lo and behold, guess what happens? A couple of days before the shoot, you find out that they are NOT available and you are basically forced to take their second rung of models. You ask, “Why not confirm them or put them on 1st option?” Well, one of the techniques is to always give a 2nd option, in case the model gets called for an Ad Campaign, which pays a lot more than “So & So” magazine. Of course, if you can confirm the girl, that is the best bet, but still will not guarantee the booking. They will always find a way out if necessary.

My advice, is to put as many options as possible on the girls you like and hope that at the end of the day, one of them turns out to be a go for your “So & So” Magazine Editorial. Or better yet, if you can afford a casting director, go for it. They have tons more leverage than you do.

Oh yeah and one more very important point. The photographer IS the client, especially when casting for an editorial or an ad campaign and thus should be treated as such. In some places that is NOT the case which I and many others find infuriating at best!

More to come about model agencies later.

Hans Feurer back in VOGUE Paris

Benjamin Kanarek — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 13:31:15 +0000

by: Frédérique Renaut of Benjamin Kanarek Blog

Emmanuelle Alt © Garance Doré

Emmanuelle Alt is writing her own ticket for VOGUE Paris. I was not expecting a fundamental change in the Editorial Direction being that she has been the Fashion Director of the magazine for over ten years and collaborating with Carine Roitfeld. Thus the assumption that there would be little change from the status quo. However, the April 2011 issue of VOGUE Paris gives a clear new direction; bye bye porno chic, provocation, unjustified nudity, welcome softness, lifestyle, casual clothing. Emmanuelle’s approach is more consensual and obviously more commercial, which the fashion customer might find more accessible.

I want to show in French Vogue more and more a lot of clothes … It’s a different point of view, but nobody gave me a mission to change it or make it more commercial. she stressed in her WWD’s interview

Her vision of fashion is also conditioned by the choice of photographer she has decided to collaborate with and thus don’t expect any radical changes in those she has already worked with.

I want to keep the quality, the photographers we work with—David Sims, Mert and Marcus, Mario Testino, and Bruce Weber. I don’t think there should be radical changes. The magazine should still be chic and sophisticated. VOGUE.com interview

There has been one huge surprise however… The Return of Hans Feurer in VOGUE Paris is great news and a welcome change.

Hans Feurer ©DR

Hans Feurer’s style is easily recognizable:

Outdoor shoots, long lenses, grainy film aspect, blurred background, sharp on the model (bokeh effect), sunrise or sunset light and often with the introduction of back light and flare.

This style was in “VOGUE” in the 70′s and 80′s and has come back in to fashion since certain internet bloggers started to photograph street fashion a few years ago. The styling often associated with his photography is ethnic, tribal in wildly natural spaces. However, he can express himself in a more urban environment as he did recently in French VOGUE with Supermodel Anja Rubik.

Anja Rubik by Hans Feurer for VOGUE Paris - April 2011

Feurer, a highly renowned fashion photographer in the 70s and 80s, is Swiss born and studied photography in London. In the ’60s, he became a photographer for British Vogue, Vogue Paris, US Vogue, Marie Claire, French Elle… He photographed most of the major supermodels from Claudia Schiffer to Laetitia Casta with Yasmeen Ghauri, Christy Turlington… He launched Amber Valletta in French Elle Magazine.

Who do you dream to photograph?
- I had the chance to work with the most beautiful women in the world from Pat Cleveland, Christy Turlington to Stephanie Seymour… Kate Moss is the only one that I haven’t photographed. Excerpt of his interview in the Contributor Section of French VOGUE April 2011.

I would add “so Far”… , but I have the feeling that with his statement in the Contributor Section of the magazine, this omission will be repaired quickly enough.

Some of his archives

In the early 60′s, he was assisted by French Photographer Patrick Demarchelier. Hans Feurer is also renowned for his collaboration with Kenzo for several of their Ad Campaigns in the 70′s and 80′s and was well known for his shooting of lingerie and swimsuits in a beach environment. In 1974, he directed the famous Pirelli Calendar.

Over the past few years Hans Feurer is back on track with magazines the likes of Numéro, I-D and VOGUE China, etc…

I really appreciate the fact that Emmanuelle Alt went for the original “Real Deal” photographer rather than one of the numerous copies amongst the younger fashion photographers emulating his and Eddy Kohli‘s style.

Interview: Fashion Photographer Orlando Behar

Josh Linam — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 20:47:23 +0000

Orlando Behar‘s photography can be found in places like Elle, The New York Times and on WWD. In his time as a fashion photographer, Orlando has built a solid clientele, shooting for the likes of Victoria’s Secret Pink, Phoebe Couture and Trilogy, among many other brands. Read our exclusive interview with Orlando here…

With steady, prominent clients in his pocket Orlando now prefers the role of a flexible freelancer. He splits time between New York City and Miami, lending his photography skills to both high fashion and more avant-garde companies.

Recently I was granted the chance to quiz Orlando about his career and views of the fashion industry. The following is how our chat went down.

Josh Linam: What’s your passion for photography? What draws you to it?

Orlando Behar: I’m motivated by fashion itself. I’m a fan of beautiful clothes, and I enjoy interpreting fashion for others in lighting and in a narrative I control. I get paid to do what I love.

JL: How did you get your start?

OB: I studied advertising in Miami at Florida International, but I realized that I didn’t like that side of the process. I started at the bottom as a studio assistant washing windows and taking out the trash. I didn’t think I could make money as a photographer initially. But, eventually, I moved up to shooting. Now I know the freedom of a freelancer.

JL: How would you describe your photography style?

OB: Much of what I do is editorial as a narrative. It’s a love story between the models and attire from a cinematic viewpoint. It’s my duty to take a story beyond just models and pretty clothes on hangars. Simple is always best in my opinion. I always use one main light source in my shoots because that approach models real life; it models the sun.

JL: Off the top of your head, what’s your favorite shoot you’ve done in recent times?

OB: I did an editorial a couple years ago that enabled me total control; it was a shoot for Noise Magazine. Everything came together. The model was cool and very laidback. The stylist pulled together amazing clothes and stunning jewelry. She fashioned a homemade turban. It was very cool. You don’t have to have a Prada label to come up with an amazing outcome, but it doesn’t hurt.

JL: How did you develop your style? Who have you worked with previously?

OB: I started assisting for George Kamper, an ad photographer who shoots some fashion as well. He knows lighting set-ups that range from one basic light to lighting a set with 20 plus.

Elliston Lutz is another photographer I worked with that influenced my take on fashion photography. He has a completely different style; he’s an organic shooter. He keeps it simple with natural light from one main source.

Personally, I like the look of having dark shadows, which you can always modify for an Art Director.

JL: What are some ways you think fashion photography has evolved and will evolve in the next decade?

OB: Digital has taken the industry by storm. People can use a consumer-grade camera and deliver beautiful results. It gives creative power to the people.

In the next 10 years video will be huge. GQ used a Red camera to shoot Megan Fox in an editorial. This will be a trend that continues to evolve as the technology is further developed and becomes more affordable and accessible.

Meet Aaron Farley, an LA based photographer who is making his way everywhere working with clientele such as Myspace Music and PAPER Magazine. Aaron Farley came to L.A. in the year 2000 and in 10 years has made one bad ass portfolio.

Me and Aaron met at a PAPER Magazine party a couple weeks ago and took some pictures at the event. Then set up a shoot for a later time other than the party atmosphere. Once he gave me his card i looked him up and was impressed at his portfolio and the celebrities and models he has shot. So i decided to go ahead and work with him. One of my favorite things about this photographer was that it wasnt like a typical photoshoot, it was more like hanging out.

FashionIndie — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 18:30:53 +0000

Lately I have been OBSESSED with vivid colors and textures. I want to paint every face I see in vibrant colors and dip them in glitter and diamonds. I have visions of Fuchsia cheeks, Chartreuse eyelids, Yellow lips. Yes, I said yellow lips… Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it.

Like I said, I’m a little obsessed with color these days, maybe more than a little obsessed.

I have come across a photographer who apparently feels the same I do about color and texture and has some serious photography skills to properly highlight it. I am completely enamored of her work. Her name is Daniela Glunz and she is amazing. It’s like her photos are ALIVE and they are living VIVIDLY. The colors and the textures just about jump off the page at you.

Now, being a makeup artist I feel I must mention that she obviously works with some incredibly talented MUAs. That being said however, a MUA can paint a face and 2 different photogs can take a pic of said face and you will see 2 completely different pictures. Us MUAs are essential but so is a photographer’s skill and vision. Daniela Glunz’s skill and vision are outstanding and extraordinary…
