los Angeles New York Prague-Vienna-Rome-Paris and many more destinations
Fashion photographers see the world thru a different set of eyes. and that’s what I love about photography, to be able to capture what I see , even if I am walking down the streets of Los Angels and New York and some of the most beautiful and historic cities in the world
The image below was taken at Grand Central Station in New York City during my last visit to NY. This moving image is made of a few still shots at a high speed and then recreated as a Gif file animation,. This is an old technique used by many website and advertisers, to make those annoying pop up ads…:-) but in much more artistic way!
Grand Central Station truly lives up to it’s name, This Architectural wonder is NY’s pride possession and the passage to 1000’s of travelers every day
I love NY and all it’s beautiful wonders !

PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS 101
I had a blast shooting with Maryam, She was fun, exciting and super photogenic as you can see below, She was even sweet enough to write this
“It was such an amazing experience working with Shaun Alexander. He is truly a perfectionist and the passion in his craft can be seen throughout his work. Before entering his studio and workplace, I had a feeling that we would create magic and surely after the photoshoot magic was created. We commenced the photoshoot with him first doing my hair and makeup, followed by his lovely stylist Tania styling me with various exquisite outfits. Subsequently, we began shooting while he simultaneously taught another photographer about the art of photography and the different aspects of lighting. He got me so intrigued and interested that I started asking questions too, and he gladly taught the both of us. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and a pleasure working with him. I look forward to working with him again in the near future. “

Simionato will prepare a 3-course dinner with each one reflecting Alexander’s famous images recently showcased in his late show on march 5th
“After work one night, I was enjoying a glass of wine at my favorite Bar / Restaurant on Sunset Blvd where I met the internationally acclaimed photographer Mr. Alexander at his 29th year Anniversary Photo Exhibition, with life size images of beautiful people that covered the walls from floor to the ceiling . That evening laid the groundwork for this project,” said Simionato. “Shortly thereafter, I met with Shaun Alexander, who immediately understood my vision and fell in love with the idea. Inspired by Shaun’s black and white work as well as his intensely colorful photography, I made use of some of Italy’s finest ingredients to reflect the emotions and thoughts behind the art.”

NEW YORK – NY – NYC – lOS ANGELES – LA – LONDON UK
The Guess ad campaign Editorials shot by Shaun Alexander, fashion photographer , ranked the most successful fashion editorial shoot by many fashion experts and magazine editors for 2012 . Shaun conforms lighting to the type of ad, the background, the model’s features, and the product. He gives what the ad needs, resulting to a dramatic, yet high end and glamorous advertisement such as of Guess.
Having great taste and creativity, Shaun Alexander gives Guess an ad campaign that captivates the rand’s total look- easygoing, however elegant and expensive. There has never been a cheap-looking Shaun Alexander photo ever, and neither a Guess ad. This shows that the topadvertising photographer has not only lived up to adding another item to the legacy of ad portraits for the company of the Marciano brothers. He was able to successfully embody the Guess spirit in his work and at the same time apply his own style into it.
In New York advertising photography, the Ad campaigns must consist of a photographer who directs the shoot according to how the product or service should be presented. He lets the model do her job, but makes sure he or she gets it right and makes a pretty picture.
Advertising photography demands perfection since its purpose is for the endorsement of a company’s product or service. Cecil ads by Shaun alexander show not only the brand’s youthful side, but the freshness of their hippest products that make trends more buyable and wearable. For Laqua, he again lends his expertise, giving the brand strong, artistic, couture photo ads that sell.
If you observe all of his works, it would be clear to see that it is his remarkable lighting that does the magic. He just doesn’t let light fall on any part of the subject. His photos radiate with light in the right places and touches the viewer the first time their eyes get caught with all of it. Shaun’s experience as an advertising photographer has earned him more projects. These include cosmetic campaigns, editorial campaigns and promotions for fashion designers, fashion magazines, advertising companies, fashion editorials, and celebrities.

You want to know the truth about shooting fashion shows? Honestly, I don’t shoot them. But I have in the past, especially when I was first started my career as a photographer. The thing is that if you are a fashion photographer, this is going to come up sooner or later and you will be asked as some point to either attend a fashion show or shoot them, or many times you may just be asked by your favorite designer clients or friends to do them a big favor, Or you may really want to head in that direction with your career. But after so many years, I just realized that shooting fashions shows are tedious and very demeaning. Standing around with a bunch of photographers trying to get the same exact shot as the guy standing next to you is not very creative or exciting, almost like the “paparazzi” photographers
I much rather be sitting in the front row where a respectable fashion photographer should be sitting to enjoy a good view of the latest designs and gorgeous top models strutting down the runway.
I LOVE fashion design and Fashion shows , but not shooting them!
Not many people know that I was originally interested and I still am to become a fashion designer before I fell in love with photography. So for me, watching the show is way more fun than shooting it. BUT……..That’s just me! If you are planning on shooting a fashion show in the near future, here’s a few tips and links to some very useful posts and sites on how to go about it…
1. Cover your behind! Bring an extra camera body for two reasons: A. So you can mount two different lenses to get two different shots of the same outfit. B. Murphy’s Law: if your primary camera for whatever reason on Earth decides not to work at the exact minute the show starts, you can switch to your back up with very minimal stressing out.
2. Depending on where you’re going to be standing, you’ll want to use a zoom lens with a range from between 24mm to 200mm. This is going to be a rare moment when I am actually going to advise using zoom lenses. They’re just more accommodating for this kind of shoot. Usually they place photographers at the end of the runway. You’ll want to get a full length shot of the model, a 3/4 shot, possibly a turning shot or back shot and hopefully a nice face shot, especially if the model’s wearing some great jewelry pieces or accessories.
3. Bring a mono-pod. Save your arm. You can also use it as a weapon if one of those other aforementioned photographers gets out of hand. Seriously, I’ve seen it happen. I am only joking, but I’ve seen photographers go at it with their mono-pods. Uh….in my opinion, a fashion show is not really that important to get into a blood bath over.
4. Make sure you have one of those on-camera flashes. With back up batteries. You can never count on their lighting set up.
5. Bring plenty of memory cards. They fill up fast!
6. Why not! Go ahead and shoot in auto-focus. I would.
I found this post on DPS had some really useful tips on shooting fashion shows:
Fashion shows DO have a lot of energy. The music is loud and usually upbeat, the models are fun to watch, the clothes are usually more theatrical and dramatic. Here’s a video
Spring/Summer 2012 Chanel Show
They did things a little different at this show but you can jump on to style.com’s site and check out any number of other designer shows. Personally, I just happen to enjoy watching the shows more than shooting them. But again, that’s just me. To each his own and that’s what makes the world go around! If you have had some experience in shooting runways shows, leave a comment for the other readers. Your input is really welcomed!
New York – Capital city of fashion , where top Fashion photographers and Fashion designers come together in order to shape our society for centuries.
When it comes to fashion and style, non play more important role than the ones determining who wears what!
Fashion designers expressions captured by elaborate fashion campaigns and fed to the mass, which in most cases are recycled ideas of our past translated for the future.
Top fashion photographers have the ability to enhance those ideas by their creative interpretation, some with much more colorful density than others, each telling a story through their lens.
Personally I prefer the black and white photography over color photography, mainly because I prefer the viewer coloring the image in their own mind without anyone’s influence of the colors and the surroundings, allowing them to focus more on the style, photography and the feelings expressed by the photographer.
