UPLOAD A FEW SHOTS AND TELL US ABOUT YOU!
These photographs were taken by two of my favorite photographers ( Herb Ritts), a Known Fashion photographer in the 80’s and 90’s and Leonard Nimoy , a celebrated actor known for his Tv show role as Mr. Spock in Start Trek Enterprise!
These captivating images demonstrate more than two decades of social evolution in a single image. I am sure Herb never saw this coming! Leonard’s take on one of his famous and most controversial images that put his name on the map as a top fashion photographer
20 years ago no one could ever imagine publishing Leonards photos in any magazine, let alone coming to terms with accepting the fact that Fat is Good and being Fit is no longer a requirement in the world of beauty or fashion photography.
But what’s next? where do we go from here? where do we draw the line? at 200, 300, 400 or a 1000 pounds? at what point it’s ok to say to NO…that is not a healthy looking body or a life style!
In the U.S alone 4 out of 5 kids under the age of 10 are considered obese and 3 out of 5 of those kids have diabetes! and we still tell ourselves that Fat is beautiful and we tell our kids it’s ok to be over weight, because everyone else is!

Tanya’s Journey as one of the youngest up and coming fashion photographers in Los Angeles,
started in her teen years, when she lived and worked in a relatively small town in Czech Republic called Ostrava!
According to her own words, she used to be a big admirer of Shaun Alexander’s work and dream about shooting with such a photographer from an early age. Not knowing that the law of attractions were on her side and a few short years later, She was discovered and contacted directly by her all time favorite photographer,Shaun Alexander from a small community of models and photographers forum in Czech Republic
A faithful day that changed both their lives forever! Shortly after shooting series of incredible sessions with Shaun in Prague, Tanya moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue her dreams of modeling and all the other opportunities that this great city has to offer a young and talented individual like her
The number of incredible work these two created together is the testament to their mutual admiration for one another. Tanya quickly picked up Shaun’s decades of trade secrets and eye for perfection with her uncanny talent, and with her taste in fashion and styling, She began working as Shaun’s right hand fashion stylist and Workshops coordinator for many campaign shoots and Shaun Alexander Photography Workshops
It did not take too long before Tanya picked up a camera and started experimenting the challenges behind the camera as a photographer
Her very first photo shoot was a combination of natural passion and talent combined with years of paying attention to details while working and assisting her favorite fashion photographer and mentor!
It was no surprise to Shaun nor anyone else to see her talent blossom or even explode in such a short amount of time, and find her true love and passion behind the camera as opposed to being in front of the camera as a beautiful model. Tanya’s diverse talent is see in her work, especially in her most recent travel documentary street photography titled GHOST STORIES OF FLORENCE .
Tanya’s eye for perfection and composition can be compared to some of the greatest photographers of all time. GHOST STORIES OF FLORENCE mark the beginning of her journey to become one of the greatest fashion photographers of the 21st century. Like many other world famous photographers. She followed her heart and passion into the world of known! We should all look out for her successful career closely in the years to come!
Modeling Portfolio Photography and Test shoot with Cameron Rorrison with Elite model management, photography, styling, makeup by Shaun Alexander, Los Angeles fashion photographer
modeling portfolio, models, fashion photography, modeling agencies, top models
Fashion models portfolio, headshots and comp cards are mostly created with lots of planning ahead of time. From Styling to the right makeup and hair everything is laid out accordingly . Models like Cameron, know how to work the camera and their experience is easily visible with the way they pose and move. Shaun’s years of experience working with professional and amateur models has helped him to recognize those qualities within the models that stand in front of his camera. And Cameron was truly a joy to work with.
With that in mind here are some of the greatest famous photographers that changed my life and how I shoot forever! I studied their masterful techniques for decades and I find their fascinating images my source of inspirations in discovering my true love and passion in photography
FAMOUS FASHION PHOTOGRAPHERS: United States, Europe, Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and more…
1- Helmut Newton (born Helmut Neustädter; 31 October 1920 – 23 January 2004) Los Angeles based photographer
To be born in a Jewish Family in Berlin Germany before the WWII came with a big price for young Helmut and his family. After his father was forced out of their family business by the Natzi’s and forced in to a concentration camp, they had no choice but to flee the country to south America and eventually to Asia. Where Helmut ended up settling in Singapore and began his photography career as a fashion and portrait photographer alongside his lovely wife June which at the time was a beautiful actress and a successful photographer as well. June soon became Helmut’s biggest fan, supporter and inspiration throughout his fascinating and inspirational life and career. She was one of the biggest forces that helped him to become the conic fashion photographer that shaped the world of fashion photography as we know today! And despite his love for the black and white photography, Helmut Newton lived an incredibly adventurous and colorful life!
Helmut Newton – Iconic Fashion photographer
2- Richard Avedon (May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004) New York based famous fashion photographer
Avedon’s fame and success started in the early 50’s as a young photographer for known publications and fashion designers such as Harper’s Bazaar , Life Magazine, Vogue, Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Revlon, Colgate as well as countless magazines covers for Vogue as a staff photographer and especially after Anna Wintour joined the team in 1973 , these dynamic duo created some of the most iconic fashion and editorial layouts for decades. Brooke Shields describes Richard as quiet, sensitive and very creative with a unique vision…Richard Avedon will always be remembered as one of the best and most published fashion photographers ever lived.
Nastassja Kinski by Richard Avedon – one of the most famous fashion photographers of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and the 90’s
3- Irving Penn (June 16, 1917 – October 7, 2009) New York photographer
American Fashion beauty photographer Irving Penn was born on June 16 1917 in Plainfield, New Jersey to a Russian Jew family! His simplistic approach in his photography soon became a trend that is still followed by many great photographers. Photographing his subjects against a simple gray background became his signature style that landed him on the cover of many magazines such as Vogue and subsequently many commercial brands, including Clinique, General Foods, De Beers, Issey Miyake, etc…
IRVING PENN FAMOUS FASHION AND BEAUTY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER FOR VOGUE
His simplicity was the key to his fame and success and this proves my point all along, that expensive gears and elaborate backdrops do not make a photographer famous, but his vision and talent does!
FAMOUS LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHERS:
4- Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984 San Francisco photographer in love with Yosemite National Park
Known as one of the greatest landscape photographers in the world. His splendid and glorious black and white images of the nature, especially the Yosemite’s national park made him a household name. Ansel’s love for photography started when his father introduced him to astronomy as a kid. His eye for details and high resolution images all started from that point on. Ansel’s passion and fascination with nature photography also started when his father gave him his first camera, a Kodak Brownie box at the age of 12 during his first visit to Yosemite’s national park, which sparked his love affair with nature and landscape photography. His use of large format camera later in his career and eye for depth and details in his images soon became his signature and eventually had earned him the title of grand master landscape photographer we all love and admire for decades!

This week, I had a pleasure of working with a very beautiful young teen model named from Orange County, her old soul and old fashion beauty was the inspiration to create these lovely images that depict the popular old Hollywood movie stars of the 40’s, 50’s or 60’s
Ok, I must admit that my fascination with the old Hollywood Glamour style of photography started with following some of my favorite movie stars as a kid , icons like; Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Liz Taylor, Marlyn Dietrich , Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart , James Dean, etc… I could not get enough of watching those beautiful Black and white movies and collecting their stunning black and white headshots and movie posters…to me and to rest of the world, they represented fame, life style, and class that everyone could only dream of! Not knowing that someday I’d be able to work with some of them myself! but I always knew that behind every iconic image stands a great photographer and that became my motto and inspiration to learn and study some of the greatest photography masters of those eras and try to understand the one magical formula they all had in common! and that was the “LIGHTING” Which may seem simple at first, yet it is as complex as it can be!
Simple, because almost every photographer back then used one or two lights to create the most beautiful portraits, for instance George Hurrel , the master of old Hollywood glamour portrait photography, his lighting was very simple and yet, his work seemed so beautiful and complex, because no one could do what he did…and that made him very special! the same goes with Helmet Newton, Richard Avedon and few other top photographers and masters I have written about in my previous posts
I guess, what I am trying to say is that ” only by perseverance and patience one can truly master his craft! and only then he is remembered as one!”
Thanks to my lovely Makeup and hair stylist: Tammy Suarez and my amazing assistant and fashion stylist Tanya Antalikova and our beautiful model: Safiya Witt
