I have to flatter myself this time. I just moved to the step 4 because I felt I should move on from the colaborations with NEW MODELS and I actually started creating editorials and I realized I have to build a team. I have to say Im glad I did it by myself and this video confirms I am on the good path. Big thanks to you Ian, you are a big support. And Im sorry for everyone reading this, it is more for me than for others. Wish you all good luck, keep chasing the dream, we will make it!
This is what is great about youtube. Sometimes you have an idea but don't know how to move forward but you have an idea... Then you go to youtube and find that some younger, smarter, more beautiful person has already done it better than you ever will. AND the greatest part is that they will share their knowledge with you in a user-friendly, non judgmental way that makes you feel like you have a chance at making your dream a reality. One million thanks!
You are awesome Mr Ian. I've had several false starts in this industry. The "Keep Going" resonated with me. This summer, after being totally burned out, I had to stop completely and pull back to rest and take 3-4 months off. Now I realize that I'm pretty much having to start again from scratch.
I will add that it takes time, hard work, dedication and TALENT!! there is no magic pill you can swallow to become a photographer!! It’s not enough to be technically good. You will need to be innovative, have heart and passion for making images. Not just from a business stand point.
I agree, but not with the talent. I believe you dont need to have talent if you have the dedication and hard work. Also in fashion photography I find necessary to have a passion and lead the photosession by your heart.
Incredibly helpful video. Rarely do I actually come across videos like this that truly guide you instead of providing vague and generic outlines that skip a massive amount of steps. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel
you are such an inspiration and an icon... love to meet you and see your studio work... you are such a brilliant modern fashion photographer. thanks and more power
Ian, thanks a lot for your support and your help. I am really inspired by you. You makes me keep going, don't give up, do my best. And actually I have a little wish, one day work with you on studio as a photographer and gaffer. Thanks !
i totally love your tips and "perspective" when it comes to photography! LOL :P keep it up! 🙏 would you ever come out with your own clothing merch? let me know
The distinction should be made that this is how to become an unpaid fashion photographer. I have a well established portfolio, have been published multiple times, and am in touch with the only modeling agency I know of in my area and shoot with their models frequently however I've never made any money in the fashion industry. I've been sent plenty of cool expensive clothes by brands, do shoots for fashion designers etc but really it's just what I do for fun. The only photography I make money from is client shoots. Couples, families, seniors etc.
He did specify that the editorial pathway does NOT pay or if they do, it's barely anything significant. He did say that adverts and working with brands was the money maker. So you go through the steps he listed (which is by no means the only logical route to do it, nor is it the way I did it either), do the editorial shoots so that the brand names can see your work AND be willing to hire you. I totally agree with you that shooting editorial is basically showing technical competency as a photographer & building portfolio for the "REAL" clients- aka those who'll pay you. IMO
@@SanjoBakare Yep totally. And I feel like a lot of it is where you are located. Because if you aren't in a fashion capital even if you get yourself a great portfolio there are way less networking opportunities unless you want to travel. You may pick up some local brands if there are any around you but it seems like the bigger brands go with people local to their HQ most of the time.
@@NickDelDuca that is so true unfortunately. That sadly the nature of the hustle. I don't have a solution to that yet but I think that's the name of the survival game of our times- how to creatively out-think the competition. Best of luck to you in your hustle as we all try our darn best to do that.
Hi! Great video. On the working with publications part, do you mean specifically magazines? If so, any tips on finding magazines and whether I could pitch to the ones outside my area? Thanks!
You probably already had a good start, a decent family that can provide for your photography education/lighting equipments/camera all that. The rest would just come smoothly
Hi! This is called 'tethering'. You have to use a program like Adobe Lightroom or Capture One on your computer and plug your camera in for photos to transfer automatically.
Getting free models is already hard in Belgium, i have managed at times , but the building a team step is like nearly impossible. Sometimes i can get a MUA to collab one time for free but they will want to make specific shots for their folio often with way to much makeup and closeup shots of the model in a certain pose that brings out the makeup better. But a stylist and so on, i never seen any of those ever. They are rare and i HIGHLY doubt any of them will work for free
These photographers, who you say are people of color, how would I know that? I only see their work, which is opposite of the camera, but the photographer is behind the camera, whom I can’t see. So I have no idea who the photographer could be.
Could you tell me what kind of fashion photography jack bridgland does? Or for a more specific question, how to edit like him or is there a specific name for that job? Is it a retouching department?

watching again for the second time! One million more thanks!
Short, sweet and simple! Finally some no-nonsense advice.
Love the minimal list of famous fashion photographers, missed out most of the best, but included the most hyped.

I work consistently in the industry. Your video is the most on-point for how it's done. Good job
Great breakdown of the industry. Of course after all of this a person still needs talent and that cannot be taught.
Love your work. Remind me when I did studio personal work. Wish you great success during the year.

Thanks. You told me everything right. I've watched all your videos. I also like direct hard light. GREETINGS from Russia!
Thanks for watching!
I like the simplicity with which you shoot . If you listen to other teachers, I'm just nothing compared to them. I like your style.
In Russia, the majority is against the war, we are the same people as you and we want to love to live and travel
@@ARTEGO70 just like in Germany 80 years ago
Thank you for the video, Ian. Very clear and straight to the point. It was helpful and I enjoyed it a lot.

Hello. I really liked your video. Can you talk more about model agencies? Thank you a lot
This is very Amazing and Educating. Thanks Sir
The 80s and 90s were so great. I wasn’t part of it but I wanted it to be.
Thanks so much for that mate 🙏
How do you get the clothing. Do you just buy a bunch of clothes and use them for the shoot?
Ian, thank you for the video. Always great.
Regarding the training, any suggestion? Is it critical to have a formal training?
Thank you so much for this video!!11❤
Love your channel makes me wanna focus on creating content for my own channel ❤❤
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿! Thanks for the direction sir!
Hey question. Do model agencies pay for test shoots. NOT pay you, but pay for the studio time you use for the test shoots
Thank you dude! Those was helpful.
Glad it helped!
Defo need some tips about contacting agencies etc! Great video!
Thank you!
Hi! Great video. On the working with publications part, do you mean specifically magazines? If so, any tips on finding magazines and whether I could pitch to the ones outside my area? Thanks!
i love your videos!!
Great advice, thank you!!
Do we have to Do like a Degree or its possible to just Do it on The own with Free mode available
Thank you so much for this!!
You probably already had a good start, a decent family that can provide for your photography education/lighting equipments/camera all that. The rest would just come smoothly

Hi! This is called 'tethering'. You have to use a program like Adobe Lightroom or Capture One on your computer and plug your camera in for photos to transfer automatically.

Nice videos, I do have one question and is about equipment, what's the minimum u advise to have (camera, lens, etc..)? Greetings from Colombia!
Great content Ian ❤️
Thank you!
I am very impressed with your knowledge, but it will be even better if you share the correct post-production process for everyone to refer to.
I would like to do advertising photography. Do you do mentoring?
I hope you would make online course for Fashion Photography 😭😭😭
