FotyMody: “Fashion is religion, Vogue is The Bible”?
Eugenia Shabaeva: In fact, it is so. I see two kinds of love for fashion. The first is fanatical, when person doesn`t see anything, he sees just fashion. The second is the intellect love, when you really appreciate fashion. Vogue (or any other magazine of that level) is not The Bible, but The Book of Fashion. In my life photography did not begin from fashion magazines. But later thanks to them I understood what I need and want, where I should g

Serg Samonov: photographer's “own” model

Posted by Foty Mody on May 22, 2010 at 6:29am
“Each photographer has options to "own" model. “My” model is the one, who never looks straight at the camera and don`t wait breathless me to press the shutter button! In addition “my” model is a person who are easy to get in touch with. She is beautiful in body and soul. Like me, she should know what she wants from the shoot!”- Serg Samonov, photographer, www.samonovbrothers.com, Ukraine

Igor Patokin: mistakes and boons are better to be seen on black-and-white photo

Posted by Foty Mody on May 12, 2010 at 11:37am
“Black-and-white or color images? As a rule, advertising photos are colored, because the color shows properties of objects better. I prefer to do shooting in the nude-style in black-and-white, because volume, light and shades are important on it, and these qualities are better to see on black-and-white photo. Also mistakes and boons are better to be seen on black-and-white photo.Sometimes the portrait is more interesting in black-and-white – probably because of the dramatic effect, which appears

Costa Kanellos: studio is the place where time is money

Posted by Foty Mody on April 29, 2010 at 9:12am
“I have always preferred doing photo shoots in a studio for the simple reason that I have full control over every aspect. In a world, studio is the place, where time is money – this is very important. I can adjust lighting set ups and outputs, I can change the background, I can control the temperature and move props. Shooting on location or outdoors is also a pleasure, but can be very frustrating at times because there is less control. I can’t control the weather, and it’s more difficult to adju

Photographer of fashion story «The Joy of Style» Luca Patrone shares her emotions about photo session

Posted by Foty Mody on April 30, 2010 at 8:45am
“First of all me and my team have met at Marangoni Milano for make-up and styling. When we finished, I had to tell the model about the mood of shootings. It wasn’t so usual! ;) FotyMody set almost crazy mood, and I’ve created the same crazy situations around Milan. Model understood the requirements and we went to the center of galleria Vittorio Emanuele. I asked her to make same crazy poses and to lay on the famous “bull”, where people from all over the world come to make a wish. It was so funny

Renee Jansen: photo can be perfect without Photoshop

Posted by Foty Mody on May 8, 2010 at 8:50am
“Professional photo can be perfect without Photoshop. Photographer should take the a picture as to be ready. He should not think, “Oh, I can recover it in Photoshop later!” The only thing I like to edit in Photoshop is skin, which just must be pure and ideal on the photo”, – Renee Jansen, photographer, www.reneejansen.com, Netherlands

Lena Ivanova: photographer visualizes the thoughts of designer

Posted by Foty Mody on April 26, 2010 at 7:52am
“Selection of the photographer for the fashion-shooting is laborious and unpredictable process... You can fall in love with the master`s works at first sight or you can know each other gradually... But better is to use the cut and try method. Photographer's works can be fashionable and atmospheric, but you need to achieve harmony in work with him. The main thing is to understand each other. And then you look for location together, choose the model and create a world in which the main heroine of

Igor Patokin: truthfulness in pictures

Posted by Foty Mody on April 23, 2010 at 5:07am
“Truthfulness in the pictures? It depends on what it is. If i’s about condition; about what is hovering in the air, then the truthfulness is ephemeral: a 6th sense, an intuition, a soul… It isn’t often found in the advertisement. What truthfulness is needed? Try to shoot a shoe truthfully. After all, the truthfulness of heat-shielding properties of winter boot is another kind of truthfulness. This is a quality – a substance that can be described in technical terms: pixels, histograms, color, etc

Artem Melnyk: the difference between photo models and runway models is in time

Posted by Foty Mody on April 14, 2010 at 9:22am
“Model on the runway and model in the studio… The main difference is in time: a model is on the runway for a few seconds, and in the studio – for a few hours! To speak about runway model and photo model in one person, I have to say, that it’s easier to work on the runway for the person who can open up and present himself in a short time. For the person who needs much time to do it, it`s better to work in studio. The main thing is that you should have given this time … There is no doubt that the

Renee Jansen: natural light for a viewer

Posted by Foty Mody on April 20, 2010 at 6:17am
“I prefer shooting on location, because I want the viewer to forget about the fact that it is a photograph. They must forget about the fact that there was a photographer, a make-up artist, a stylist, an art-director, etc. For the same reason I prefer natural-ligth instead of studio-light. I want people to look at a moment, a story, a scene, instead of just a monochrome paper with an image on it”, – Renee Jansen, photographer, www.reneejansen.com, Netherlands

Todd Anthony Tyler, photographer and art-director photoshoots «Shanghai Happiness»

Posted by Foty Mody on April 18, 2010 at 9:17am

"After I was given the brief on the theme of “Fun, Happy” for FotyMody I thought for sometime on how to shoot happy in Shanghai. Daily life in Shanghai is full of action and activities so I took our model to the common streets of the city. I wanted to shoot where every day Shanghai people go and not at the tourist spots. I picked the model in part for her red hair as I also see Shanghai as being very colorful so I wanted the images to have punchy colors. We got lucky on the shooting day as the a

Ellen Einkauf: the top of the photographer`s game

Posted by Foty Mody on April 9, 2010 at 10:14am
«My advice for beginning photographers is to never assume you are at the top of your game, you never will be and there is always room for growth. Having a better-than-everyone attitude isn’t going to help you get anywhere. Never forget your creativity and experiment even if you aren’t sure if it will work or not,» – Ellen Einkauf, photpgrapher, http://elleneinkauf.com/, USA
