    Step 1: find very attractive stylish person who is model and know how to work with camera.
    Step 2: find very intersting spot around the world and put model somewhere
    Step 3: find expensive camera and expensive lens, learn how it works
    Step 4: combine 3 steps and try experiments. better have a team with 5 ppl like visagists, stylists, light asistants, managers and stuff.

    so simple! 🙂

    Very nice video. Thank you! I was just wondering about the photo you are showing in 4:02, who it was shot by and what lens was used for it. Looks like shot on film anyway, probably medium format… Thanks again.

    This is half the truth. The other part is that elite photographers work with elite models, elite locations, elite projects with elite team support made by professionals that go further the photographer. Fashion photography isn’t just photographer. Of course elite photographers are well trained but they are very well inspired too by elite situations and a world of professional models, locations and tools totally inaccessible to the common photographer. It’s the same difference between cinematography and solo videomaking
