Photography Assignment

Fashion photography has changed over the years from being very formal to very experimental.

For example usage of more of the models skin, and technology such as Photoshop to create an unreachable beauty.

Now-a-days fashion is all about attitude and competition rather than advertising products, it’s more like ‘here’s a model, try and look like her’ kind of thing.
