Leonrad Nemoy vs Herb Ritts world famous photographers
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!
“You are destined for greatness and the torch bearer of my legacy. I love you forever! Shaun writes to Tanya”
“Being famous does not necessarily mean being the greatest and being the greatest does not necessarily mean being famous!”
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…
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!
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
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!
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 KodakBrownie 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!
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THESE MASTERS WORK AND A BIT OF THEIR LIFE HISTORY AND IF YOU EVER WISHEDÂ TOÂ LEARN THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS SECRET Â AND HOW THEY CREATE SOME OF THE MOST ICONIC IMAGES OF THE LAST CENTURY?

In many years of shooting and working with 1000’s of top male and female models all around the world, every once in a while I come across a model that is truly a pleasure to work with and he or she can be the reminder of why I chose this profession , the joy of making timeless and beautiful images is the greatest feeling in the world! Brent was a true professional all the way around, from showing up on time to knowing how to work and create the feel and the mood I was after. I think these series of images can show his versatility and variety of great expressions he was able to portray in a very short amount of time, with ease and almost very little effort on his part and almost no directions from my end I plan to work with Brent many more times and this article is a gesture of my gratitude for allowing me to create these captivating images and of course to thank him for his kind words which he wrote me shortly after  our shoot: I’ve been working as a male model for over 15 years in Los Angeles and I can honestly say, Shaun is one of the best fashion photographers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. He made the shoot fun and very much a collaboration, as opposed to just showing up and taking photos. You can tell he loves what he does and it shows in his photography. Besides being just all around great to work with he’s very good at what he does. The photos I got from our shoot are classic and timeless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for great photos for their portfolio. He’s the best!

Most people always ask me if I shoot everything in Black and white!
To everyone’s surprise, Â I shoot everything in color and then converting them to a perfect shade of BW
you may wonder why? well, after decades of doing what I do and teaching photography for at least half of my long 30+ years in the photography business,  for some reason I personally prefer Black and White images due to the fact that they offer less distraction and more information about the subject, lighting, contrast and the composition of each photographs VS too colorful images that may distract away from those important components, if not done well
Therefore, keeping in mind those very basic rules ( lighting, Contrast and composition), color photos can also be equally appealing!
These extremely colorful images offer a similar experience as my black and white photograophy work, yet  with vibrant and exciting colors
let you be the judge of that!

Iconic headshots for celebrity actor Kiko Ellsworth by Shaun Alexander studios – Hollywood California
Recently I had a pleasure of working with a very talented actor and an unbelievable human being named Kiko Ellsworth, His extraordinary talent as an actor is like nothing I have ever seen in the past 30 years of my career in Hollywood as a celebrity fashion photographer. I must say our shoot was magical and here are a few words he wrote me after our amazing photo session: I believe Shaun Alexander is the most generous photographer I have ever worked with. Generous with so many things from his personal take on life to the passion he bursts with behind the camera. I was definitely impressed with the sumptuous tiramisu he shared with me after the shoot as well as the fact that he superbly hand made himself.Â
As soon as I walked into his studio I knew from the feel, the music, the adornments, to the costumes and his assistants that this was the kind of warm yet high calibre studio I had envisioned for this shoot. It was energetic, artsy, layered with endless possibilities and very inviting to have an all day shoot in.Â
Natural and effortless passion behind the camera with exciting bursts of ecstatic rapture every time he got “that” shot! I enjoyed the experience of seeing Shaun get a great shot whoever he might’ve been getting it from at the moment. Although I gotta admit, on this amazing day I was grateful it was from me. Â
We got this one particular shot (of many) that I swear was put together by the heavens and our angels…you had to be there for the serendipity of how this all came together…(you know when words just won’t suffice…but i’ll try)
So, out of nowhere during the middle of the shoot he pulls out this random 3/4 length brown and beige coat, we paired it with one of my hats that I, by pure chance alone, threw in the wardrobe bag last minute, to his gut instinct to switch to the perfect background….magic….pure and simple magic….what came next I never experienced before in the 15 years of my entire professional acting career.Â
Snap snap click click….He shows me one of the shots….. and I was literally HIT with a tidal wave of emotion that brought me to a convulsion of tears…whoa tiger…whats going on here?….Is this really happening right now? All I could do in that moment was put my head down, fist to my eyes and weep like a little baby. I know i’m a sensitive guy but damn! What I didn’t know, was that I was waiting for a shot like that for my entire acting career. What he captured in that shot was something I had been expressing on camera for many years, but never caught it in a still image. Something that expressive, raw, perfect wardrobe, masterfully lit between light and shadow….thank you Shaun. The perfect environment was created for me to be at ease and let my unique authentic light shine.Â
This shoot turned out so much better than I imagined! Thank you for your artistry Shaun. It brought out the best in mine!
Shaun Alexander is a top fashion photographer who’s taken a great fashion photograph to a higher level. During his shoots atmosphere is a really important thing to him. It makes the people he works with and himself more creative and relaxed. Even the concentration level will be higher so the results will be exhausting. He is a man of details and he will always keep his energie high so the photoshoot will be worth it from the beginning to the very last end.
He is also a man with patience, because for him is the most important thing to create something amazing all together. As an assistant of Shaun I really can learn so many things from  him. He takes time during the shoots to explain what he is doing and even more important, why. He always want to be sure I get the things he is doing.
I will call him a true artist because his photographs are more than just a photograph, Besides being a top fashion photographer, we can call him a true painter. Inspired by the biggest painters like Rembrandt, van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, he makes his own artwork. Instead of using real brushes he is using light as a main ingredient in his work. With this way of working he is creating almost three dimensional photographs Every piece in the picture will feel like you can really touch it. Every highlight he is using, is used for a reason.
His job in life is to make our world even more beautiful. It gives people confidence, because he shows everyones their true beauty. He knows how to catch everyone’s beauty and still keep the person as they really are
