The first was to show that fashion photography, at it's best is a true art form, a fine art. As I pitched the idea to photographers, sometimes via their agents, I started saying I wanted to show that fashion photography was, 'not just for magazines and then the bin'. I wanted to show that fashion photography <i>was not disposable imagery</i> and that great creative photography was visual art worth collecting, well worth space on your wall. One of the main prompts for this idea - especially the role of Australia, was Brett Hilder's image that he has often referred to as 'Legs Over Ayres Rock' (Uluru 1976 - then known as Ayres Rock) which is one of my favourite fashion pictures and virtually unknown as I don't think it is part of any of the major gallery collections - god knows why, it really should be! So I certainly wanted to exhibit that picture - if Brett would let me? Thank you Brett. I then began looking around for other fashion photographs that featured something typically Australian - identifiably part of Australia or Australian identity.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhROFkoIWb4yy0M6OQK5-E-L9lNDcceUGfbhdlC9BMNfRVReeY9bg8CdGz08l9WRPsF2s-iLeds3zJSlUVF25A5tK76fYdOfWMgYukEIyogiypNGGDCXeWh9Rxqn4rZmHlqUxBzfB01GenzF1hoD0VGZWty4fl8g_SziLqYPF1ltG5D2Zv4h6lYCg-8CLlL/s1600/1600-HeadOn2023-V2Exhibits.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Compilation of photographs for the exhibition Australia + Fashion Photography, a Group Show for Head On 2023" border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhROFkoIWb4yy0M6OQK5-E-L9lNDcceUGfbhdlC9BMNfRVReeY9bg8CdGz08l9WRPsF2s-iLeds3zJSlUVF25A5tK76fYdOfWMgYukEIyogiypNGGDCXeWh9Rxqn4rZmHlqUxBzfB01GenzF1hoD0VGZWty4fl8g_SziLqYPF1ltG5D2Zv4h6lYCg-8CLlL/w640-h426/1600-HeadOn2023-V2Exhibits.jpg" title="Australia + Fashion Photography - Group Show for Head On 2023" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Australia + Fashion Photography - Head On 2023</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Fashion photography often embraces the generic in how it uses landscapes and location though of course there are exceptions - perhaps laughingly sometimes the only way to identify a location is by the description! 'Shot in pick-a-location' with the model against an unidentifiable beach/wall/garden or in an international modern hotel suite - the same in every major city. This is not the kind of picture I was looking for. I had recently connected with Tony Potts who had some stellar B&W fashion from the mid 1980s, and he was happy to come onboard. I followed up with an approach to Grant Matthews, Ditto. Australia, Beach, Bondi, these two had me covered. Liz Ham; who could forget her Newtown Punks series which took that very English Punk ideal and yet somehow transformed them into emo-esque Aussie larrikins, though <i>here </i>we have some young women with chickens. Juli Balla bringing a European sensibility to the Australian light and dare I say, an approach to colour and modulating <i>her </i>landscape in a way not dissimilar to the approach of the early European painters when representing the Australian countryside, well mannered, and never too wild. And I have some pictures in the show, from two stories set in Costal and Bush landscapes, both places a deep part of the Australian psyche. Michele Aboud brings a famous Australian to the Australia theme and the saturation of the blue Australian sky as a feature of the land down-under. The exhibition is Co-curated with Head On Director Moshe Rosenzveig OAM.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoouA7jKQfBEa9kzi9-Kqb1KyFObYaXAzs-ebgD0xUZN-IyQC_e_KVdMiLUxybbKsxeN99e5rKGRp5iSRIUDRknLNGHiDEN77R3uf81yAdVc73cOJZTJdW3dDi_xriqvbW9FWyZDwaVbwtAWThvMfRn5VPH0_rC0l71u7N-qKOrY9T65unGD4SOxVblPbz/s1800/1800-Adj-F6882.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Photographs by Kent Johnson installed on the promenade at Bondi Beach for Australia + Fashion Photography - Head On 2023" border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1800" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoouA7jKQfBEa9kzi9-Kqb1KyFObYaXAzs-ebgD0xUZN-IyQC_e_KVdMiLUxybbKsxeN99e5rKGRp5iSRIUDRknLNGHiDEN77R3uf81yAdVc73cOJZTJdW3dDi_xriqvbW9FWyZDwaVbwtAWThvMfRn5VPH0_rC0l71u7N-qKOrY9T65unGD4SOxVblPbz/w640-h426/1800-Adj-F6882.jpg" title="Kent Johnson - Australia + Fashion Photography - Head On 2023" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fashion Photography by Kent Johnson - Bondi Beach Promenade - Australia + Fashion Photography</td></tr></tbody></table><p>The pictures are on show now 11 Nov 2023 - 03 Dec 2023, Bondi Beach Promenade Queen Elizabeth Dr Bondi Beach.

This is simply because <a href="https://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Fashion/index.html" target="_blank">Fashion Photography</a> might love luxury, edgy, cool, dark, sexy, whatever; and even <a href="https://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/Travel/index.html" target="_blank">the <i>lure </i>of travel</a> - but it's the outfits that have to shine. So the landscape and landmarks almost always play second fiddle to the clothes and the model or the model and the clothes... I suppose that makes the location third, not even second place! But every so often, the landscape or a landmark is required to make a statement about the 'where' and in the case of this photoshoot, the 'who' as well. That's because it is a <a href="https://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm" target="_blank">modelling portfolio</a> shoot for a non local who before leaving Australia, wanted a portfolio to kick start their modelling career when they returned to Germany. </p><p>So the landmark here, must be unmistakable, the Sydney Opera House and it's always-there dance partner, the Sydney Harbour Bridge. But its still a portfolio shoot and for that kind of picture the model is the key - I don't want the location to dominate the picture, just lend some GPS coordinates and local charm.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaBFqisa8RQb__2rrricmKrn2dFKKKHVN_AimktE4vZMsGmcI3nV4l0x_tttlNEwj0M78TT-HDIHfhy2ljOdof6iXrxBn3FOPZA5zyIg7dxRe7XsmdSL6QJ7rFXb8fmNZpZpB-chKo2HoMfpu3P_gGXxOWXeyPCpg5WKLQnAmEiJgrWg1jytZh-Hfh4dQW/s1419/1200-AdjSEBWv5bdr_4628.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Linus, B&W male modelling portfolio shot with Sydney Opera House in the background." border="0" data-original-height="1419" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaBFqisa8RQb__2rrricmKrn2dFKKKHVN_AimktE4vZMsGmcI3nV4l0x_tttlNEwj0M78TT-HDIHfhy2ljOdof6iXrxBn3FOPZA5zyIg7dxRe7XsmdSL6QJ7rFXb8fmNZpZpB-chKo2HoMfpu3P_gGXxOWXeyPCpg5WKLQnAmEiJgrWg1jytZh-Hfh4dQW/w542-h640/1200-AdjSEBWv5bdr_4628.JPG" title="Linus, B&W modelling portfolio shot with Sydney Opera House" width="542" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Linus, B&W modelling portfolio shot with Sydney Opera House<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>
I love the Sydney Harbour Bridge and it's Art Deco forms cast in old concrete. Two 20th century Australian Icons. In these shots they do not dominate but they tell you where we are, Sydney, by the harbour, Australia. So we photographed on the bridge, under the bridge, beside, the bridge, and even went to the other side of Sydney Cove to the Opera House and shot on the north promenade, with Linus jogging at the Opera House as so many people do! Yes it's pretty casual in Australia. It was Linus's first photoshoot, and he did well, we did well. Scroll down, check out the shots.

The other was a more candid shot of a visibly tired Vivienne taken in Lyon, France, toward the end of a month of travel and photography.

In both pictures one of the subjects is the location, the other is Vivienne and in each picture the location and Viv are photographed, photographically, very differently.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5pwRrrkPTnDykDBQYl55epPqfCLNrk6WoUu3RRno7fvLZk1vVWblko_nfABsC8wZPp7WC5HA2fE_AEEIt-48CovMw49VkulwkX2Sav_r8kwPUU9bFb4W0tydL9OK-Skspfr9y8lusIzILii81QI1_uiLUxeb8UBYd8x2WU1PPdLBONi_VhRUlbn5vzQ/s1600/1600_AdjCESE+PCB14522_6542_.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Vivienne photographed in an intensely patterned faux animal print decor Cocktail Bar NYC 2017 for White Caviar Life." border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1068" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5pwRrrkPTnDykDBQYl55epPqfCLNrk6WoUu3RRno7fvLZk1vVWblko_nfABsC8wZPp7WC5HA2fE_AEEIt-48CovMw49VkulwkX2Sav_r8kwPUU9bFb4W0tydL9OK-Skspfr9y8lusIzILii81QI1_uiLUxeb8UBYd8x2WU1PPdLBONi_VhRUlbn5vzQ/w428-h640/1600_AdjCESE+PCB14522_6542_.JPG" title="Vivienne, Cocktail Bar NYC 2017 for White Caviar Life." width="428" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Vivienne, Cocktail Bar NYC 2017 for White Caviar Life.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p>These pictures are grounded in my beginnings shooting film as a photographer, and learning to see 'photographically' the desired end result. Where I had to learn to see that end result in my minds eye <i>before</i> having taken the picture. It's very much the opposite of digital photography. I had to have a picture in my head, now the picture appears instantaneously on the back of the camera (or tethered, on a computer screen), but only <i>after </i>the shutter has been pressed. I was talking to a colleague yesterday and I made a statement about this picture to him, which I immediately jotted down before I forgot! These days [photographers] '<i>they think with what they see, not with what could be</i>'. If I had done that with the picture of Vivienne in the hotel bar I would have had a dark moody picture with a quirky faux animal print decor.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMMPMgovF0TiFDgbQ9a-3AhfMmNgu52g8erwsRyoUCFypZDjaw8ksUGdMHpROb5m57O-iYH2X2DEw1dKbLb4BPYwaPYhMhaDae9qnt3OL77UMECTmYcB-jIIvJyNG9TY-VI5RXT-0ZglSZXX7KX-QgNzvWgCFTkAqenKeDpZ5Fp0CMgIBS1sin1Msvgw/s1600/1600_DSC_6550_.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Woman sitting in a dark hotel bar - underexposed, no flash" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1068" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMMPMgovF0TiFDgbQ9a-3AhfMmNgu52g8erwsRyoUCFypZDjaw8ksUGdMHpROb5m57O-iYH2X2DEw1dKbLb4BPYwaPYhMhaDae9qnt3OL77UMECTmYcB-jIIvJyNG9TY-VI5RXT-0ZglSZXX7KX-QgNzvWgCFTkAqenKeDpZ5Fp0CMgIBS1sin1Msvgw/w428-h640/1600_DSC_6550_.JPG" title="The dark hotel bar - underexposed, no flash" width="428" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The dark hotel bar - underexposed, no flash.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p> So what did I do to shape these pictures to 'what they could be'? Lets stick with the cocktail bar shot first. Like most bars and nightclubs that are not a windowed shopfront, even with the lights on, they are dark. Dark for the eyes and very dark for the camera. As I had little by way of lighting equipment, that meant accepting the dark, or of doing something else. Fortunately, what I saw in the bar was an opportunity to do a paparazzi nightclub - Studio 54 - someone famous, <i>who is she?</i> Kind of thing, well lit, or, loudly lit with direct flash like a paparazzi shot so I could emphasize the eccentric decor while borrowing the instant fame <i>meme </i>through the use of strong flash. Above is what the room looks like (camera set for flash) without the additional lighting. Yes its way underexposed due to a flash not firing, but it does show how little available room light there was. As the old photographers joke goes - Available light? Not available... Camera Nikon D810, 50mm f1,8 at f2 125th ISO 200. I needed to hand hold the camera, as I was using the tripod to support the reflector so I could bounce the on-camera flash into it, so I would get that direct flash paparazzi look - but softer and importantly, wider. My back was also against the bar, half squatting in this long but very narrow room. I rearranged the tables to create the foreground shapes, and had lot of work to do keeping the camera straight, the flash going into the not very well supported reflector while directing my sitter, Viv, into a Grand NY Dame pose, <i>unexpectedly </i>confronted by the camera! That is one of the things I love about photography, fashion photography in particular, the make-believe, which now is called story telling though for me they are not quite the same thing. So to my mind, this is a pure fashion shot and not a portrait at all. For years I would never have submitted a fashion picture to a portrait competition. But then, for so many years I kept looking at portrait shows that had more than a few 'fashion' shots in them and so eventually I decided, that a picture like this, was fine to submit. Though having said that. It is also a picture of Vivienne and I, a portrait of what we do - so I guess it's a portrait too after all.<br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMkMO-LHbjXDcp5nv6aZUAZPBBnKvsKW4tTIMLgAgqWebGAnmNZw1cuFKlIca94tqTUQlQ-wP5qrjE0M_jGbo44pHYdK-jF9NScYwcfThJm7wKugsQwRW6b1PLL2g38ld-ladyZCb2g6cGyuyGNlY6QmL1a213jslT_oYFSMDVpQDrHywPHd2gaqToeg/s1600/1600_AdjCEPC_5246_.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMkMO-LHbjXDcp5nv6aZUAZPBBnKvsKW4tTIMLgAgqWebGAnmNZw1cuFKlIca94tqTUQlQ-wP5qrjE0M_jGbo44pHYdK-jF9NScYwcfThJm7wKugsQwRW6b1PLL2g38ld-ladyZCb2g6cGyuyGNlY6QmL1a213jslT_oYFSMDVpQDrHywPHd2gaqToeg/w640-h426/1600_AdjCEPC_5246_.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Lyon hotel room as prepared for a lifestyle shot.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p>And what about the portrait from Lyon? The funny thing for me is that when I look at this picture, I think it's taken <a href="https://whitecaviarlife.com/fulfilling-a-medieval-fantasy-with-5-star-luxury-at-chateau-de-bagnols/" target="_blank">after we made the trip from the Château in Bagnols</a> where we had been staying. That I've taken this picture after we had checked in and loosened up a bit. Changing hotels is often a stress filled day. But that is not the case at all. The picture was made a few days later, Day 3 in Lyon, at the end of a 'lifestyle' shot Viv wanted to do in the hotel room for her website <a href="https://whitecaviarlife.com/" target="_blank">White Caviar Life</a>. Scrolling through the image folder I can see that we did two looks, one a little black dress with her sitting on the bed, then the towelling robe, against the curtains. After an hour and a quarter of working through these themes it was declared 'a wrap' and at that point Vivienne collapsed into the armchair. At last I saw a picture that <i>I wanted to make</i>, <a href="https://www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/eve-arnold-marilyn-monroe-an-appreciation/" target="_blank">Eve Arnold, Marilyn Monroe, on-set-or, is it Norma Jean</a>? Will the real Vivienne please 'let your head role to the side a bit...' So what I brought to this shot was a template of stardom as seen through <a href="https://www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/eve-arnold-marilyn-monroe-an-appreciation/" target="_blank">Magnum style reportage photography of old Hollywood</a>. And black and white, it had to be black and white, of course.<br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhan0W-PemB5zBZwiidO5hNimyN77x05dIe0pMvz3ObfnEf5_Y-OA-xJFp9Hex6q3IOPEkjRFIVfjO6eEFnq0IS8AqGMpxKK-VymK9QWP79BtQxXh3xQ71H47EsA5QbpXnz8JQwCqKUsZpjGZQYZLWu_1ei-5_SA3VHfMq3L0BKptFUD7QtpuQJ7na95Q/s1600/1600Logo-AdjCESEBWCrp_5430.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Black and white portrait of a woman in white bathrobe leaning back against a suitcase in a hotel room in Lyon, France." border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhan0W-PemB5zBZwiidO5hNimyN77x05dIe0pMvz3ObfnEf5_Y-OA-xJFp9Hex6q3IOPEkjRFIVfjO6eEFnq0IS8AqGMpxKK-VymK9QWP79BtQxXh3xQ71H47EsA5QbpXnz8JQwCqKUsZpjGZQYZLWu_1ei-5_SA3VHfMq3L0BKptFUD7QtpuQJ7na95Q/w640-h428/1600Logo-AdjCESEBWCrp_5430.jpg" title="Vivienne, hotel room Lyon, France 2017 (Head On Semi-finalist 2018)" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Vivienne, hotel room Lyon, France 2017 (Head On Semi-finalist 2018).<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p> As I started out saying, they are very different pictures made using different approaches. The NY Bar shot is completely constructed from the beginning, and the image selected is one of the first 10 frames. The Lyon room shot is made by taking advantage of the situation at the end of a shoot where I could feel a magical image swimming in my head starting to form, and after a little direction I was able to capture in my camera. Thirteen fames, in under two minutes - after an hour and a quarter of shooting. We did two other shots on location in Lyon that day as well. Those are something special for another occasion. <a href="https://headon.org.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://headon.org.au/</a><br /></p><p>I'm available for for assignment worldwide, just drop me a line and say hello.</p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px; text-align: justify;">

It seemed such a long lead time, I wondered if it would happen. We had a mood board. A long siesta.. then back to it. The words were <i>Lingerie </i>and <i>The Hunger Games</i>, the mood board inspo was elegance. I found some good location options. Then as we closed in on our shoot date the weather really turned on us. We started thinking studio - then my partner suggested hotels. Of course! I've been shooting them for <a href="https://whitecaviarlife.com/my-resort-wardrobe/" target="_blank">White Caviar Life</a> for years now, how did this not occur to me; an interior location for around the same cost as a studio!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhroPbGigZJWyR_Stypj9JOemaGOoQUCTJi5S-KaGQarUZ9fDAsPT_XpNI-dYC27SxwwcepBxdSKMrSABjRdBCqHMFkHIXVxezyMSzbvZRIrV5FxyacgCQI27CRVOIJ8I7P0zLtK2cQNYMr9vuXdhOHzfb_91dTbj72zaBP5zWF4XZLlcxRwfo1Hxr8Pw/s1499/1000_AdjSE_7299_.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Model photographed in a hotel room wearing vintage style haleter neck bra top and 'carwash' long split pants." border="0" data-original-height="1499" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhroPbGigZJWyR_Stypj9JOemaGOoQUCTJi5S-KaGQarUZ9fDAsPT_XpNI-dYC27SxwwcepBxdSKMrSABjRdBCqHMFkHIXVxezyMSzbvZRIrV5FxyacgCQI27CRVOIJ8I7P0zLtK2cQNYMr9vuXdhOHzfb_91dTbj72zaBP5zWF4XZLlcxRwfo1Hxr8Pw/w426-h640/1000_AdjSE_7299_.JPG" title="Model photographed in a hotel room wearing vintage style haleter neck bra top and 'carwash' long split pants." width="426" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><p>We went with The Old Clare Hotel which has an inspired mix of old and new - and - heating!

Like the splits in the pants in the opening shot of this blog. The fabric panels, the shape and drape of the sleeves. Look at those sleeves! How can you not want to find a way to feature them, so beautiful! I'm glad we opted for the room. Though it was not as large as a studio, it gave us enough of the world to help us tell this fashion story, a little mystery, <span class="_aacl _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad7 _aade">moody though not dark, vintage but not old fashioned. </span></p><p><span class="_aacl _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad7 _aade">Designer - Gemma Pope, the range - Viena<br /></span></p><p><span class="_aacl _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad7 _aade">Model-Dancer - </span>Micaela Sacco-Tranter<span class="_aacl _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad7 _aade"></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px; text-align: justify;">

Huge credit to Sage who styled this herself although I did add (well remove) something to the whole styling process too; well it is a collaboration. Collaborate we did and these are a selection of the shots that we made, Hollywood? Yes. Vintage swimwear to never get wet in, a head scarf and some serious star quality attitude and there you have it, with Sydney as the twist. This was my second commissioned shoot with Sage in under 6 months and we are both very happy with the outcome. We also shot a summer rapper look too, yes; it's a thing and we shot it and it looks good too; something vintage and something new. Love the shots?

There's look books, campaign and editorial shoots. And once in a while I'm asked to shot a modelling portfolio in a similar way. I am OK with that by the way; because I love the possibilities of these locations. There is just one caveat; I think this style is more suited to <i>your </i>second or third photoshoot. After you have covered the basics (which are not basic but I think are essential shots to have). Enough of the preamble. Jimmy and I met at Circular Quay on a perfect Saturday afternoon. Even though I'm very familiar with the areas I wanted to shoot I'd come down a couple of days earlier to check the light, and think about the locations as a backdrop to the portfolio shoot. This always pays dividends if one has time to do the technical scout. We did a couple of looks down near Customs House, then went up to the walkway next to the Cahill Expressway and worked our way to the start of the Harbour Bridge; a fav Icon of mine, especially the Stairs at Observatory Hill! while we we shooting to an editorial style I was mindful that as a portfolio shoot - we had to see Jimmy. <a href="https://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Fashion/Men.html">These pictures are his first photoshoot and are his showcase,</a> pictures to send to model agencies; and for IG, anywhere he want s to show them. This was my <a href="https://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm">'Makin' It Happen - Location Modelling Portfolio' and you can check out the details here.</a></p><p> Here's the shots. Thanks Jimmy for a great shoot. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHvkv495Cead4e93LWVNOoEK7Ri3kM1H2-4gO1uoFgeUo20Xl0VWtdpsJQoBvhb6A03YxzmHeeAtPddW1ufb2wnWdmH4HFW_mIAkyGDpu3GfXv-qAny2Oj9oevff8CkS7Hsn2Ux944gpoD/s903/600-AdjCE_1902.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Why the complete story of images took so long to light up screens. Perhaps it's time to admit I just stuffed up? Time to admit I wanted more than I was able to reasonably deliver from the shoot? That the only defence I have is I did not know I was pushing beyond my own limits and the limits of my equipment at the time? This might sound like I was reckless in my ambition, but I was not. And let me tell you why. A week before the shoot I went down to the location, the Haymarket, 'Chinatown' in Sydney. Along with Sunny, one of the two models and we did a technical scout. Walking around with Sunny, I made a series of pictures of scenes we could use, taken at the same time of day as our shoot was to occur a week hence. You can scout locations without the talent, but a stand in always makes a difference to understanding the composition. These pictures turned out really well; for what they were. An overview and look at the location - with model - and the same light I expected on the day. So with the test pictures in hand, I had no reason to worry, the camera worked well, we were scaling up on the day of course, but I had no expectation of anything but success.<br />

Timing is always important.<br />
Two models, hair and make-up at the studio, my assistant, the garments, travel into the city to the location. We all ate a light lunch at an Asian restaurant before we took the first two shots, right out front!<br />

If you are new to photography in the last few years; you are very fortunate. High ISO no problem. Speedy and accurate auto focus, no problem; fast playback of images, of course! This was certainly not the case in 2007. I had a Nikon D80, with a very average kit zoom, and as back-up for low light, <i>my </i>Nikon <i>film-camera lenses I had cut my teeth on as a photographer</i>, all manual focus, a 50, a 35, a 28 along with an SB 600 flash unit, and of course reflector and my assistant. I already knew the manual lenses were difficult to focus on digital cameras, but I took them anyway – and then I used them.<br />

Looking at the picture meta-data from this edit now; I'm actually shocked to see that only three of the fourteen images in this story were shot with the auto-focus kit zoom (18-135 f3.5 ~ f5.6). That means even before we lost light, I was shooting with the old lenses. Why; well I think the zoom just was not focusing accurately enough and I had to try whatever I could to get the shots, that meant risking manual. The afternoon I did my location scout was a lovely bright day; now it was cool and overcast, flat light, not much contrast. The D80 autofocus was arbitrary in it's accuracy with the best of conditions, becoming worse as the light or lack of contrast receded. Now I was shooting in July which is winter in Sydney – you do get beautiful short summer-like days of sunshine, just like I had on the test shoot you see here. But on the day of the actual shoot I've got an overcast sky on a 'summer fashion' shoot and models getting cold right from the get-go. Not good, even though we have coats and I'm keeping an eye on everyone keeping as warm – as possible. When things don't work on a shoot; you must quickly find a solution. Panic is contagious and must be avoided at all costs. I believe it's better to move forward and not to bog down, to keep everyone’s confidence up. This is the approach I took on the day.<br />

I shot a lot less on some looks than I would expect. Did I have enough memory cards for the shoot? I did, but then again I did not have a lot of memory to spare. I allowed for 3 rolls per shot 3 x 36 exp 108 frames.. If you started shooting film; you will always know how many rolls and how many frames remaining – to get the shot – I had enough memory for 100 frames per shot; this is still what I tend to shoot, though on this day I should have probably shot more, but slow manual, or inaccurate auto-focusing, and camera processing of each frame it burns through time. Manually balancing flash output with manual lenses.. tricky, time consuming.<br />

As a freelance assistant in in the 1980s I got to experience how editorial photographers; who were typically budgeted 3 rolls of film per shot worked. 120 film or 35mm film; 12 frames or 36; still three rolls. Australian and European photographers went with that, but some photographers would, just keep shooting, until they got the shot. This could take a lot more rolls.. 'We' called it the 'American method' 'it will be in there somewhere' Film was <i>a LOT cheaper</i> in the USA. In a way; it's what we can all do now with digital! And I wish I had been thinking more like that, both way back in the day, and on this shoot in particular.<br />

Battling with your equipment is the last thing you want to be doing on any photoshoot. It is never good. Results with film – if you knew what you were doing – were repeatable and highly consistent. I wish I could say the same for early digital photography but I can't and though digital in 2020 is great; in 2007 it still had a lot of teething issues. When you are fighting with the camera, the attention that should be being given to the models, the framing of the shot, direction, lighting.. it all suffers, as the day marches on and light eventually disappears.<br />

We also lost a lot of time on outfit changes. It's curious, because changes in the studio are usually pretty quick and if they are taking too long, it's easy to go and see what's going on. On this day, once models and changers headed off to a rest room to do a change – as you sometimes do on location – time went out the window. It probably seemed longer to me as I was waiting not doing, but my calculations on this front were clearly out!<br />
<h3>
Enough of negatives & the cautionary tale. What actually went right?</h3>
Well a lot more went right than I gave myself credit for at the time. So one last criticism would have to be that I was not being personally flexible enough with the pictures I took, and with the concept as I shot it. I was <i>looking more for what wasn't there</i>, than discovering and working with what I actually photographed.<br />

I had wanted an edgy shoot but not so edgy and gritty. I wanted images to be more in-focus than many were, at a time when out-of-focus seemed to have become a new industry standard. I was not being pragmatic with the images I had. I was thinking about filling gaps in my portfolio not maximising the use of the work I had in front of me.<br />

I did not understand post processing like I do now. Not even close! This was also a major factor in my disappointment. I'm pretty sure I spent a couple of weeks, not days, trying to get the most out of my files and basically, failing. Whereas the new edit was done in less than a day and ticks all my boxes for good pictures with emotion. Same image files, now with over 12 years more experience, and some new tricks too, I am always continuing to develop my post processing skills, it's learning that never ends. One of the major post processing issues I had was converting the RAW files from the Nikon in Adobe Photoshop RAW converter. This was a bad idea (though I did not know it) as the Adobe converter did not understand, or read accurately the Nikon proprietary white balance embedded in the RAW files. This meant I could not improve on my JPEG files! Instead of believing my eyes; I struggled on making lack lustre 'correctly RAW converted images' with flat reds, muddied saturation and lack of vibrancy.. in Photoshop.<br />

The <i>best lesson I learnt from this shoot</i> was that the NIKON software does the best job of converting Nikon RAW files, and that seems as true today is it was then; it's just it took me a few more months, months to work that out. The new series were all converted from the original 2007 Nikon RAW files then post processed in Photoshop, and have never looked better! A lesson I will never forget.<br />
<br />
Another lesson, perhaps the main lesson I’ve learnt from this shoot is pragmatic perfectionism, work with what you've got not what you have not. I would have thought I was already good at that, even at the time, though to be honest, that's a lesson that is always a work in progress. <br />
<br />
Let the images speak. It's enough to have set things in motion, go with the story don't try to force it where it does not want to go. Now that does not mean tossing plans out the window at the first sign of something not going quite as expected. It means being flexible, turning lemons into lemonade, setbacks into triumphs! This is how I try to function today, listening to the pictures speak to me as I make them. And I have quite a few stories of how this really does work. I've experienced this most recently during travel location shoots, no coming back next week; public works, a crowd ruining your shot? I don't think so, go with it for that unique point of view, and say thank you to the mysterious gods of photography for the gift. They know more than you and I, trust them and the pictures will only improve.<br />

Here it is, all the shots thirteen years later - <a href="https://fashionphotographysydney.blogspot.com/2020/05/debriefing-chinatown-2007-2020-new.html" target="">the story behind the shoot and it's delay</a> will be up very soon too. In the meantime please enjoy Chinatown 2007 New Edition.<br />

The first time was a portrait 'test' shoot of <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kentjohnson/7721147794/sizes/o/" target="_blank">Sage the actor</a> at the studio I was shooting out of in Balmain at the time. A creative photographers dream studio in fact, but that's another story.. And later Theatre publicity & promotional shots of <a href="https://fashionphotographysydney.blogspot.com/2019/04/theatre-publicity-stills-art-for-arts.html" target="_blank">Sage and her cast 'Art for Arts Sake' </a>which Sage also wrote by the way. Actually there is another photo, this time informal. It's a portrait I took after the performance of one of her plays (Sage the writer) in the foyer of a small independent theatre. All of these photoshoots are quite different to a portfolio shoot. So having also watched Sage's parallel work as a fashion model from the side lines; I was quite please to be asked to photograph a portfolio for her too - of course being the hyper creative personality she is, this was always going to be a modelling portfolio shoot with a different perspective.<br />

The first difference was Sage wanted to shoot on location, <i>not my usual beach location</i>, an office location, a <i>work share</i> space. We were headed into full-on Magazine Editorial territory from the get-go and I knew this was going to be a different and enjoyable project. Now because I like to be as prepared as possible; I headed down to the location a few days before hand and got enough of a look at the place to realise I would probably need my location light kit, not just a couple of speed lights.<br />

The day of our photoshoot was the one day a week the space is closed so we had full run of the place. Our first set up was in an area best described as a <i>law library</i> or reading room. That's the series immediately above.. and I was glad to have both scouted the location and to have brought my lighting kit with three heads. For fashion photography the 'law library' was dark, too dark and with overhead lights that would not flatter my model - I did need my own light!<br />
<br />
To make it work this first shot needed all three heads to balance the exposure of the room and to make Sage the central focus of the shot while keeping a moody library feel. It did take a little while for my assistant and I to get the lights set up and then balanced, each lights output the right brightness in the right place. With Sage now on set and the key light right; it was time to start shooting; <i>and this is where our photographer - model collaboration really begins</i>. Sage is what I would describe as a high energy, fast tempo model, she moves quickly and often, which is fine. I however needed a bit of time to focus my compositions and for my vintage location flash pack to recycle it's power. To be on the safe side that's one shot, every couple of seconds. So we had to slow down and work together within the framework of composition (the pose) and timing - keeping Sage in the main light, and me and the cameras ability to focus accurately in harmony with the flash recycle. This is collaboration; Sage's location and concept, working with a photographer she trusts; both of us listening to one another, Sages concept, my direction, a creative fusion that brings<i> something more</i> to the final result.. It didn't take long for us to fall into the right tempo, to hit the pose, the look, the <i>feeling </i>for the shot; to shoot a sequence of variations and then start on the next series.<br />

To finish off the first look, Sage had a tricky shot in mind on top of the shots we had in the bag by now. Tossing the newspaper in the air. You've got to like the humour in this shot; an unusually attired - for a law library - a quite sexy woman, bum planted on the table and the newspaper flying through the air; but which paper? It's a horse racing form guide! Whatever the gamble.. I'm betting on Sage to win.<br />
<br />
Sage did the styling herself on this shoot and her own make-up. I always pay attention to the fashion and usually have an opinion too, which is essential if the shots are to really work. The second <i>Look </i>is more a 1.5 than a complete change of outfit. We did of course choose a new office location. I loved the view out the window, wanted to keep it interesting but not to dominate, the additional flash lighting was just enough to bring up detail on Sage and prevent the background blowing out, the reflections add a little something too.<i> (Click Horizontal shots to view larger..)</i><br />

Next was a complete new outfit and a move to a meeting room with a long timber table. We returned to the law theme using books off the shelves of shot one as props on the table. I always find it interesting how a narrative evolves during a photoshoot. Sage had shown me a mood board but that was more about the garments than the location as such; so the fashion and location and Sage of course evolved into a narrative that ties the whole shoot together. Part of it is there from the start, the rest falls into place as you go - at least if you are looking for it - and I always am.<br />
<br />
Looking though the glass partition into the meeting room, I just loved what was happening and decided to start shooting through the glass. Again I began by supplementing the light in the room with some flash which worked, but added to issues with reflections. I then decided to go with just the room lighting which gave a heavier shadow and a strong mood but looked great!<br />

It looked like a bit of a late night <i>study </i>in seduction! Which I suppose it kind of was.. I finished off this look by simply jumping up on the table and shooting straight down. If it works, go with it.<br />

Well that's three shots down and two to go. We now move to an elevated central corridor and a Boho Chic outfit. There's light but it's mostly in the background. I need one head up as high as I can get it and a second in alignment to make sure we have a good spread of illumination. On this shot I'm listening to Sage's vision for the image and working with her to deliver the shot. Sage is happy with the bag swinging shot edited below. For me, I think I would stay moody with one of the two (unedited proof) shots working off the railing. But everyones picture serves a different purpose, it's important to get the shots your client needs.<br />

Styling wise, shot five is variation on four; stocking and leopard boots are gone, the dress is retained a long camel coat and high heels are added, and we keep the hat. I've noticed a really cool shaft of light cutting through another part of the share space complex; it's getting on in the day and the light is moving fast. We have a narrow window of opportunity and work as quickly as we can to take advantage of the natural light. There's a few of these shots, Sage sitting in the chair direct light softened by the tinted plate glass window. The 'good problem', which ones to choose. Yes there's a few but I'm completely onboard with the choice made here and I delivered the edits in both colour and black and white - they work well both ways!<br />

Although we knew we had nailed that 'final' shot, we decided to follow the light and do a few more variations, we lost the coat and Sage jumped up on the desks - in retrospect that seems to have been quite a part of the theme that day. We did however also end up with some shots that were a little more innocent looking.. a least as far as ladies on desks go.<br />

So that was it, we had our shots, we had our variations on each shot, we had our office story and it was like no office story I'd ever seen! But I had the strange feeling there was still one more shot to get. The direct light was gone but there was something in the space, the room the air; I honestly don't know what it was but I asked Sage if she would try one more pose, I had a hunch there was one more shot! She ended up in an uncomfortable position perched in a corner window. That same interesting background from shot two, a different angle, a beautiful mood and an image unique to our afternoon photoshoot, a fitting shot to end the day on.<br />

The excitement and thrill of fashion, all those clothes, of photoshoots, special places and meeting new people. I does seem very glamorous and it really can be. Of course like many things, the reality is possibly, not always quite what one expects. I can however say that nearly every portfolio photoshoot I have done, and certainly those in recent years; that <a href="https://fashionphotographysydney.blogspot.com/2019/03/top-10-reasons-to-book-me-for-your.html" target="_blank">everyone enjoys themselves</a>. The relaxed atmosphere, the fun of dressing up, the location and the theatre of a photoshoot. Even if you turn up worrying about what it will be like, how to pose.. You need not worry! Before you know it you will be modelling just like you always knew you could. Yes I'm there helping out by giving you directions but I work with you, your personality, your mood, the you I see there in front of my camera and I get on with capturing those wonderful moments.<br />

Natalie's photoshoot was just like that. Exciting, but pretty laid back. Just Natalie's mum, and myself, on location; well and the other people enjoying the beautiful park. (if you are <i>very </i>nervous.. I recommend a <a href="https://fashionphotographysydney.blogspot.com/2019/07/how-to-studio-modelling-folio-like.html" target="_blank">studio photoshoot</a>). Nat's an early teen so we dispensed with a make-up artist and went with the true beauty of youth. Yes you are beautiful! Well mum did apply a little lip balm. That was it, a brush and a comb. A pretty white dress, some active wear, a blue dress, a blue one piece swim-club style swimsuit and a pink cap. Oh, and a hat to go with those boots, I do love that shot! I help with the styling from the clothes you bring along, and we normally have a talk about outfits by phone a couple of days beforehand to be sure we are ready on the day. Well I love all these pictures and Natalie and her Mum did too. Once <i>you </i>have the edited pictures – which I send you in two sizes, print size + email/web sharing size that you can send to the modelling agency of your dreams. And dreams do come true. It starts with a simple modelling portfolio shoot like Natalie’s here. If you like what you see, just contact me to organise your very own photoshoot.

Back home in Sydney wondering what I might photograph - as a portfolio showcase in 360VR Panoramas - that would compliment the travel imagery that I had created in <a href="http://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/Travel/VeniceViews.htm" target="_blank">Italy</a>... <a href="https://roundme.com/tour/391300/view/1597162/" target="_blank">Sydney Opera House</a>, Ferries at Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge; I've heard it said, that is all there is to see, to photograph in Sydney! Well I personally don't think that is true; but then.. you don't have an architectural Renaissance masterpiece on every block - as you do in parts of Italy. Aside from those previously mentioned local Icons; I had that useful clue from Venice as to what I could travel-photograph <i>at home </i>in Sydney.<br />

When I started to think hard about what is most special, most unique, most distinctive, even the most <i>architecturally exclusive </i>aspect of visiting Sydney. Memories of the reaction to my image of the pool on the edge of the harbour came back to me. So I decided I should bring my photographic vision to bear on Sydney's ocean pools <i>and </i>the harbour pools too. Beaches with nets, swimming pontoons, or a boardwalk over the water qualify as pools (or baths), and are usually referred to as such. So the project has begun and I think it is really quite different to other ocean pool projects I have seen. So far I have avoided the dawn and sunset approach (maybe later..) and focused on sparsely populated pools, blue sky, blue and aqua green water, ochre rocks, white sand - or concrete and timbers.. as a unifying approach to the imagery.

A Studio Modelling Folio - like Dancing the TangoI love this photoshoot with Sam. Her mum booked the studio session as a special confidence boost and it certainly worked (see Marisa's comment below) It doesn't matter if you are a bit shy, if you don't know what to do on a photoshoot; it doesn't matter at all. That is why my team and I are there, to help you through the whole process so we end up with beautiful shots like these. Beautiful pictures that are uniquely you! And this can only happen because we allow enough time to let these wonderful pictures happen. How long is enough time? A studio portfolio in our massive studio is four hours long but they go by in a flash - no pun intended! What about the Tango?<br />
<br />
The full length CK one-piece shot is from one of five outfit changes or 'looks' that we shot during Sam's portfolio photoshoot. We had a great time making the magic happen; in this case I've interpreted a swimwear shot as a dance routine. I like it, its like a little Tango. I can't even hear the Tango music of Astor Piazzolla playing in my head.. How do you make beautiful pictures like these for yourself? It's simple<a href="http://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> just contact me to book your fashion portrait or modelling portfolio photoshoot today</a>.<br />

I also like that I have blog posts that were made at or near the time I did some of those photoshoots as they often contain snippets of information about the work that I have long since forgotten. And yet these details were an important part of why a final picture ended up looking the way it does today. The <i>White Lights and Dark Knights</i> editorial is a perfect example of this. I shot three fashion stories and several portraits for issue 3 of Le Magazine. One story was a collage collaboration with a photo artist. Then there was a more straight forward studio shoot; which regardless of how good it looked I ended up spending a lot of time in post finessing to bring out it's more ethereal qualities. Then there was this story <i>White Light.. </i>which; after we had shot the pictures, changed direction almost entirely!!! Now this is something that never usually happens.<br />

We had worked quite intensively on all the shoot concepts and planning; the how, what, where, when. This one was initially conceived as a shoot that could use patterns either projected or dropped in using Photoshop. We decided Photoshopping the pattern in after would be the simplest approach but; for reasons I can no longer recall the pattern concept went right out the window. (Was it a <a href="http://www.florencebroadhurst.com/about" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Florence Broadhurst</a> concept that ran into a rights issue?) Clearly there was something about what had been planned in the vintage aspect to the styling, that started me thinking about the Russian Constructivists. Their use of geometric shapes and primary colours as a possible alternative to the type of pattern idea we had started with. So the concept that we ended up with started out with me proposing a series like the red square and oblique lines image that I prepared above. But this did not seem to hit the mark for the magazine so we moved on... continued below.<br />

<br />
Whilst doing my research on the Constructivists I started falling in love with the period portraits of the artists that I was seeing (now there's a recurring theme in my photography..) Shots of the pavilions they had built for exhibitions and the posters they produced for their shows. By this time we had already shot the images with model Sammy Raine against a basic white background and, thinking <i>Constructivistly </i>I dug out some night shots of the super structure of the Sydney Harbour Bridge that I had taken years earlier with my trusty Canon Pro1 top of the line Point-and-Shoot.. back in 2006!<br />
<br />
This concept was given the go ahead and then it was just down to me doing the most complex image compositing I had ever done. On the plus side, being inspired by <a href="https://www.artsy.net/series/art-history-101/artsy-editorial-constructivism-brought-russian-revolution-art" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Russian Constructivism</a> collage works by El Lissitzky and Alexander Rodchenko meant that the pictures <i>should not be</i> perfectly rendered into the background. The original opening page is above, below are the original images without magazine text along with some of the pictures as they were made before becoming part of the collage images.<br />

The vintage inspired garments from Mrs Press combined with the slightly crazy Vivien Westwood shoes, the old stole from Coco Collectables. It all works perfectly against Sydney’s largest Art Deco structure the Sydney Harbour Bridge! After lifting model Sammy off the white background (so to speak) and dropping her over the night bridge scenes , post processing was mostly about blending B&W layers to deliver our Constructivist; now a little bit Film Noir feeling final images. I'd like to think that all the artists from whom I found my inspiration would be happy with the way the final images turned out. Even lovely Florence the unseen idea that got us started; was known to like women and design a little on the edge.<br />

There are a few different approaches you can take to make it as a model, but we have found that regardless of anything else; <a href="http://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm" target="_blank">a great professional modelling portfolio</a> is going to give you the edge and the best chance to break into the fashion and modelling industry. <i>Read on below </i><br />

<br />
And here's the first reason. Model Agencies and Bookers are busy people. Yes that is 100% boring and 100% true! If you want to get their attention you need pictures that stand out <i><b>too them</b></i> - pictures that catch their attention in a business that is driven by pictures! That means the kind of picture they expect to see with something more - <i>forget Instagram </i>and the crazy creative stuff! - There will be plenty of time for that later - So why do you need straight-down-the-line pictures to get into a top model agency? Because they need clean, clear strong pictures to <i>SEE you</i>, YOU in capital letters <i><b>with no guess work required</b></i>. No one has time to guess what you look like. If they have to guess; <i><u>they won't</u></i>. It will just be,"next model" with good pictures that they can turn to. Your time will have already passed!!! Remember, even a Unicorn viewed from the wrong angle looks like a horses... You need to to look Unicorn-You from-the-front, at the very start, and exactly the right angle.<br />

The good news is my team and I have been making <a href="http://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm" target="_blank">great looking portfolio pictures</a> that get you unicorn noticed; for years! The kind of picture you will love and modelling agencies love too. And that is a very good thing. It is what you need. My team and I have helped a lot of attractive young people who have done photo sessions with portrait studios who do "model portfolio" pictures that were rejected. The pictures by the way were fine as portraits.. but not as model portfolio shots; and the agents agree, they are not the right stuff. What do they say, <i>"we can't use these pictures."</i> Portraits are not model portfolio pictures.<br />
<br />
In today's world it's also important to put yourself out there on social media, with Instagram being the platform of choice. It is very competitive and a tough crowd so you may want to set up a modelling-only profile; so you can keep your private life private. Even if you want your IG page to look like it's your real world. There's more info, so scroll down and read on.<br />

<b><i>Next</i></b>; how can we help you land a top modelling agency. <i>By helping you be yourself. </i>As the saying goes, "be yourself everyone else is taken!" And as true as that is, it's also helpful to work with a team that can bring out your unique qualities that can get you seen by the Modelling Industry. This is one reason we don't try to photograph you in just one hour! It takes time to make great pictures, to get to know you, your look, what makes you, you. And it's something that cannot be rushed. <a href="http://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/index.html" target="_blank">My portfolio shoots</a> are from two to four hours long, I don't like to be rushed and neither should you. This is part of the approach to creating beautiful strong model portfolio pictures that get you noticed.<br />

Of course - well maybe not of course if you don't already know. On of the biggest pictures you need for a <a href="https://fashionphotographysydney.blogspot.com/2014/03/headshot-photography-part-1-modelling.html" target="_blank">modelling portfolio is the Headshot</a>! The Headshot is the first hit; the hero or heroine of your comp card, your CV, your life as a model. And again, it is not a portrait! (<a href="https://fashionphotographysydney.blogspot.com/2014/03/headshot-photography-part-1-modelling.html" target="_blank">I go into detail here</a>)<br />

Although I missed the production as I was overseas at the time I enjoyed being present for this rehearsal and then lighting and directing these shots. I often think of fashion photography as a kind of theatre, I think the two forms may be more closely related than people realise.<br />

We set out for this exotic garden shoot at a grand Victorian residence in Annandale, Sydney with high spirits. The weather as it sometimes does had other ideas - it decided to rain. At first we hoped we would be able to shoot inside; I had my lighting kit at the ready. But this lovely large house, home to two retired creatives was filled to the brim. Shelves everywhere, archives, books, the furniture all a bit wrong for our looks, not the glamorous feel we were wanting, needed.. Or there were dominating artworks, stuff, stuff, more stuff. <i>I loved it all</i>, but it wasn't what we were after. I would have thought I would be able to shoot around a lot of this visual clutter to minimise the impact, or exploit it. But in most rooms the decor would dominate and distract, we had a problem! I could not see clear catalogue shots being made <i>inside </i>this house. The client had picked the location, and unfortunately I never been offered a chance to check it out. So I did a shot at the top of the internal stairway to get us started; and that was it for the interiors. Next we were able to get some shots on an upstairs verandah, inside-outside.. And thankfully by then, the weather had started clearing and we were able to make our way out into the garden.<br />

Even so, this beautiful inner west suburban garden while huge by inner city standards, was still not really that large. So time evaporated as I worked my way around still wet areas and tight spaces. To create clean and clear pictures that highlighted the fashion, within the environment in the best possible light. I had to choose our positions very carefully, to keep the illusion grand. It was a challenge that I faced for every shot, all of the day. We did well of course and got the shots we needed, even if it took a little more time than we had allowed for. I recently re-edited a personal selection of these pictures, as I have always liked them but felt there was more in them than had been developed at the time. Not big differences; but some subtle ones that make me a lot happier, and some of the shots with a mood different to the clients original selection. So here they are, the garden shoot revisited..

'Kent was fabulous! I took my daughter <i>for her first fashion photoshoot and Kent made her feel confident and glamorous</i>. He also held my hand throughout the process of picking the best photos, because we had so many great shots, it was hard to choose!. The photos were just amazing. This was a great experience for both of us. The stylist and hair and make-up ladies that Kent brought, Vivianne and Cynthia, were also great. Thanks, Kent!'

<b><i>Unique shots </i>- Male Model Portfolio - Jimmy </b><br />
'I recently did a shoot with Kent and the results were outstanding. <i>Kent has the ability to spot and create shots</i> that a less experienced photographer simply would not be able to pull off. Kent is also very easy to work with and has a good sense of humour. We had a few laughs throughout the shoot which is always helpful as far as getting loose and creating cool shots. Overall highly recommended!'<br />

<b><i>Professional with a very personal touch</i> - Studio Portfolio & Comp Card - Ali </b><br />
'Following a recommendation from a contact made through the Billy Blue Design College, my 19 year old daughter and I were recently recommended to check out <a href="https://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm" target="_blank">Kent Johnson Photography</a> to get some photos together to help kick off a career in modelling. <i>The whole experience from start to finish was extremely professional and but at the same time with a very personal touch.</i> Kent spent a lot of time with us discussing the options and getting to know a bit about her so that he could get a good story going through the photos. We decided on the 4 hour studio photo shoot and were not disappointed! We spent an amazing and really enjoyable few hours at the Studio working through different looks and outfits with Kent and Emily, the hair and makeup artist, and came out of it with some stunning photos and a great comp card!! Many thanks again.'<br />

'I recently had my portfolio shot by Kent Johnson. He's a passionate Photographer with <i>a great eye for the detail and he's only satisfied when the light is perfect</i>. I really think that Kent and his Crew is worth the money. It's not only that the pictures are very qualitative, but also did I have a lot of fun while shooting them! I've rarely seen somebody so enthusiastic about his job, if you're interested in having shot a few professional pictures then you really should give it a go with him.'<br />

'Photo shoot at Neilson Park with Kent was great fun. The location was very nostalgic for me - I learned to swim there as a child and have continued to go back over the years. Having photos taken there brought back lovely memories for me and I felt at home right away. Kent's style is relaxed and engaging and he a fantastic and dedicated photographer so I knew I was going to get an excellent portfolio. I'm really happy with the photos - they are <i>beautifully shot in soft light, very flattering for a 60 something aspiring model</i>.'<br />

Well that's it that is 10, actually 11 reasons to consider me, <a href="https://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm" target="_blank">Kent Johnson to photograph your modelling portfolio or fashion portrait</a>. Of course I think one of the best reasons, perhaps after great pictures and mentioned quite often; is we really do have fun on on these portfolio photoshoots, and I think that's very important. After all, enjoying yourself and feeling good about who you are should always be part of the experience.<br />

Had decided to do me a turn of kindness and let me know. Which I appreciated very much. I think it was also a good excuse to give me a call and chat about how the Industry is going. I was praised for my uncompromising commitment to photography; though I assured my friend I had compromised a <i>lot </i>in my time. As we discussed jobs from the past and diminishing fees, I was told about a former client of years of theirs, who had eventually asked them if they could; "just set up the lights" so they could do the shots themselves. We weren't using face-time but I'm sure my eyes rolling into the back of my head were clearly visible at the other end. Or maybe it was a groan I let slip, certainly not a gasp.. "I made it look too simple" my colleague continued. And indeed I think they had. There is a point in every good photographers life; when no matter what <i>you </i>are looking at; they have made what they did look simple, <i>too </i>simple. And people start to believe it really was. Sometimes, what they have done actually <i>was </i>simple - it's just it has taken years of experience to be able to see, feel, and <i>deliver </i>that simplicity. I like this shot below. It's a branding shot from the end of an <a href="https://buthelabel.com.au/" target="_blank">eCommerce/Lookbook</a> shoot. And it is simplicity itself. Just stand the model in the light (*details below). When did I learn how to pull off simplicity? To simply ask the model, any model to just slink back against the wall, and then for me to pull off the shot? It wasn't always that way! After all it's one of the most ridiculous things in the world, this wall leaning pose.. and in the wrong hands looks as unnatural as it really is. <br />
Good model, check. Fabulous garments and styling - check. Team - check. Years of experience.. Check check check!<br />

I like this shot. And it is really, truly, a natural shot. I know enough about what is happening with the light and the camera on a technical front, so it does not interfere with the subject and the mood of the model. I've got lovely garments that I have a feeling for along with the scene before my eyes. And I have a cooperative team, and a wonderful experienced and beautiful Danish model, whom if I remember correctly; I even asked If I could just toss her hair a little; to lift the shot (sometimes its easier to do it yourself).. So I like this shot - but even we ended up overthinking it; bringing in a large light to soften the shadow on the <i>next look</i>. But that was OK as it gave us a nice variation on the shadow theme which was/is a key feature of the branding shots over the plain white background lookbook pictures. I often say to people that simple is the most difficult of all - it certainly almost always involves a lot more than the eye sees and what is perceived. And that's good; because the power of simplicity is that it just looks beautiful when you see it, and when you see it, you don't have to think about anything else at all.<br />
<br />
*Don't overexpose the highlights, sun on white linen, black silk top; don't let shadow fall on wrong part of face; is shadow too dark(?) keep the feeling carefree and natural. Which after 3 hours of continuous modelling, shooting and outfit changes is no small thing - here we are, come on everyone, it's nearly done and it's almost time to go home.<br />

It's curious how often I am booked for portfolios for (soon to be) models who are in Sydney yet planning on starting their modelling career overseas. They are often from overseas already - I will simply put it down to my work looking less trend driven and more of a classic, international fashion and model photography style. And I think its fair to say <a href="http://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm" target="_blank">when you look at my model portfolio shots</a>, you really <i>SEE </i>the model. You don't look at these shots and wonder what this model looks like - you <i>KNOW </i>what this model looks like. This is essential when you are starting out in fashion; potential clients want to know what you look like; it's how you get the call up, the go-see, the call back - because they like the way you look, <i>and can see what you can do</i> for their project. In fashion, image is everything.<br />

Teo was scouted a few years back at a shopping centre back in the States. Her parents who are both from the USA, working here in Sydney Australia decided to give Teo and iPOP a shot. Which is where I came in, with a fairly specific portfolio brief to shoot. Those requirements were quite simply the classic requirements that are the basis of all my 'getting started' portfolio shoots. A great headshot. Full length for legs and body, how you look shots, you know, how tall do you look! Fitness shots, casual and classic. And for this shoot we needed a comp card too; that's a part of my studio package already so all good! We also got some fab personality shots full of Teo's great energy, and ended up with what I call the good problem - too many terrific shots, more pictures than we could use. So some of them are appearing here for the first time along with the comp card and shots from Teo's final selection. I hope you enjoy them, and of course, if you need a portfolio, <a href="http://www.kentjohnsonphotography.com.au/09Modelling/ModellingPortfolios.htm" target="_blank">follow the links for details and hit me up</a>!<br />

"Kent was fabulous! I took my daughter for her first fashion photoshoot and Kent made her feel confident and glamorous. He also held my hand throughout the process of picking the best photos, because we had so many great shots, it was hard to choose!. The photos were just amazing. This was a great experience for both of us. The stylist and hair and make-up ladies that Kent brought, Vivienne and Cynthia, were also great. Thanks, Kent!"<br />

I'm a little embarrassed to say this is my first time in Italy and of course Milano. It's a fabulous city and of course arguably the fashion capital of the world - so very exciting! We have already put two shots from this shoot out there, you can check them out (slightly different version) on the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whitecaviarlife/" target="_blank">White Caviar Life I.G. here</a>. Stay tuned for more.. and even check out my 'down time' shots on <a href="https://streetfashionsydney.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Street Fashion Sydney - Italy Edition - here</a>.<br />

And at the very least or perhaps in companion to <i>before you press</i>.. when you hit the editing desk you really really should know what you want the picture to <i>look like</i>.<br />
<br />
I'm not even thinking about old school <a href="http://anseladams.com/the-key-to-a-photograph-from-ansel-adams/" target="_blank">Ansel Adams visualisation</a> of the subject. I'm talking - look at what you are looking at, what do you see, is it how you think it should look?<br />
<br />
This may be at the heart of problem with people using the digital TV screen on the back of the phone/camera. What problem? The device shows what's there right. Well, er yes and well kind of no; and yes but.. Even though the screen shows what and more importantly how the scene will be rendered(ish) in 2D. The photographer - the person using the camera needs to have an understanding of what they are looking at and how the elements work together - on that front, even with digital, nothing has changed.<br />
<br />
In that video in the link above Adams talks about that moment when he realised how he could take a picture the way he saw it, not just how it looked, how he could create a picture to tell the story of his vision (visualisation) of how it looked.<br />
This is very important.<br />
<br />
That is a landscape picture; but if you look at the contemporary landscape of fashion photography. You can see we are being swamped by pictures of a dress. But no understanding of how a dress looks at its best, no story, no vision. And while people may like the pictures with a, <i>Thumbs Up or little Hearts</i>. It doesn't mean they <i>really </i>love it. People love stories, they love something, with a photographers vision. If your pictures haven't got that, they have very little at all.<br />

We started the shoot on a penthouse terrace at The Roger Hotel (<a href="http://whitecaviarlife.com/meet-roger-the-trendy-stylish-and-welcoming-true-new-yorker/" target="_blank">thank you White Caviar Life</a>). Then headed over to the Empire State Building making shots at locations I had scouted over the previous days, informed by the behaviour of people I had noted too. I wanted that classic New York by night mood; but with a little more edge than the safer NYC of today.. Huge thanks to Mario&Lee our model Lionel Nichols and assistant Vivienne Shui.<br />

The internet has great ways to see how different people/photographers approach their subjects - lets take one famous location - Pont Alexandre III, Paris - on Google Maps you can see hundreds of pictures of what everyone thought was a good shot of the spot. Then with an Image Search you can compare <i>FASHION photographers</i> ideas and techniques at the same location too! And I seem to have a few pictures in the results.. Nice!<br />

<br />
We did two shoots at Pont Alexandre III for <a href="http://whitecaviarlife.com/" target="_blank">White Caviar Life</a> last June, a day shoot and an evening photoshoot. During the day, Vivienne said the bridge was the busiest she had ever seen it (more about that another time).<br />
<br />
The process of seeing what different photographers do is easy -<i> just click the two links below </i>and scroll through the photos. Easy, informative and great fun too! Of course now you know how it's done, check out your own special places and compare.<br />

Partly as I seemed to be spending too much time checking-in on job ops to no avail.. Partly because questioning what people were asking for, or adding informed discussion; was seriously frowned upon (and the GIF warfare was intense). And partly because a lot of people there don't a have a clue what they are talking about, seem rather lazy and incapable of doing any research; but are always full of opinions. So I should be completely safe talking about some of the groups vexed questions here on my blog. Away from the hostile schoolyard these groups seem to have become.<br />
<br />
So what has any of this preamble to do with the title of this blog post you ask? Well quite a bit actually as one of the most common requests on these pages mentioned above is to seek out talent to work with - <i>for free. </i><br />
<br />
Which when you are just starting out as a model or a photographer or a hair and make-up artist is fine. <i><b>Actually it's great!</b></i> It has never been easier to get together with people to try to make some good work. On the other hand, it's never been easier for people in businesses who need work done that they used to pay for; to also join these groups and ask people to work for free, or contra or whatever.. It is a very strange time to be a photographer. Photography is more necessary than ever as almost everything revolves around the use of visual imagery; and yet it is now harder and harder to find clients with budgets that reflect the kind of work they are asking for; or clients that respect the creative nature of the work. - Continues after the picture..<br />

It is certainly true that you can gain some valuable experience as a photographer by working on photoshoots with 'real' clients. It's different to doing shoots with your own team on self directed projects (more on that shortly). But low budget jobs; or <i>NO </i>budget jobs for commercial usage are, in my experience (now there's a dirty Facebook concept) unlikely to allow you to produce any portfolio worthy imagery. And from what I see more and more, even small - meaning tiny - budgets (though thank you for actually having one) you probably won't be seeing eye-ball-stopping imagery from these small campaigns either. Which should be of concern to the client as well.<br />
<br />
Back in the day - to use that now old hipster expression - photographers typically only shot for free when doing fashion <i>tests</i>, model <i>tests</i>, or portfolio building shoots for-themselves <i>tests</i>. In brief - a TEST is where people of a similar level of experience get together to produce pictures to build up their portfolios - everyone; Model, Make-Up, Stylist contributes and everyone gets something out of it. Hopefully! It's a kind of mutual lifting-up of one another. For <i>this kind of photoshoot</i> I have typically come up with a concept I wanted to shoot and often styled it myself (yes I'm an OK stylist; but not amammmazing..) This would be a smaller say three to five outfit/looks shoot.<br />

<br />
If the photoshoot is bigger than this; you are really shooting some sort of Editorial (or if it's for a commercial <i>client </i>it's called a campaign or look book). From this photographers point of view, even if you are OK as a stylist; you can't style and shoot; it's too much work; you will miss things. You will need a dedicated stylist and possibly even a stylists assistant. This shoot is essentially a huge <i>Test</i>; and is typically now going to be called a magazine submission; unpaid - submitted or not. It's worth keeping in mind that BITD - Back In The Day.. magazines commissioned these shoots and you were paid for them. Everyone complained how badly they were paid (it was not that bad) and now it looks like gold was falling from the heavens!!! Of course, the magazines needed <b><i>great pictures</i></b> to compete for readership; which meant they could charge more for the commercial advertising that paid for all the editorial. Being published really was special. If you were untried and new to the business, it meant editors were putting their reputation on the line for you if they booked you. <i>Everyone's</i> job depended on keeping and <i>growing </i>readership. Now people just buy *readership on IG.. or so I'm told.<br />
<br />
If you are shooting a large number of looks <i>for a business - for free!!</i> They are not asking you to do this so you can become a better Photographer/Stylist/Hair&Make-Up. They are doing this to <i>save money</i> and they hope you don't fu#k up the job because they want to use your work to <i>make money</i>. To sell stuff with. This is why this kind of shoot is called a commercial job. (even if it's no job at all). Even though they are not paying you (or so little it hardly counts) they will want to have heavy input with the 'creative' direction of the shoot. Not surprising as they are not paying you for your creativity - they are not paying you at all! Really. These people will never pay <i>you</i>; even if the shoot is a success. The minute you mention money they will roll the dice again and look for a whole new team.<br />

<i><b>Model Tests.</b></i> I have saved what is perhaps the most complex situation of all for last. A fashion test or beauty test is of course, going to require a model and the best models are most likely going to be agency represented. Once I would have just said, "come from an agency" <i>but now </i>"represented" is the hot term..a bit like "published" though both are not very well understood. As a photographer an agency will either like you and your work (being liked the most important in general) and will let you test some models. Or they won't like you and say no. Most importantly, "No" and "Yes" are not set in stone and will change over time. So when one says "no" try another - and keep photographing the best and most-interesting looking people you can find in the meantime.. <i>These </i>tests are typically done by way of exchange to build books (portfolios) and do something new or creative - everyone working for free. But sometimes an agency wants a model shot by a <i>particular photographer </i>- it may be the style; it may be friendship - who knows? And for this shoot the photographer will be paid. I know models who say they have never paid for an agency test. But these things can sometimes be lost in the accounting. If you want to become a model (or to get some pretty-much guaranteed really good pictures). The simplest way to get a good result is to seek out a photographer who has a body of work, (a lot) of work you like; and ask them. They will quite likely want to be paid. As a guide; if the photographer is very experienced and you are not; it is not a test; it's a portfolio shoot, which is an <i>editorial looking</i> commercial photoshoot!<br />

I am hoping this has been a positive and helpful article, which is entirely my intention. To share some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">critical thinking</a> and my experience as a photographer. If you have any questions, please send me an email; or even better, ask the question in the comments below. Questions like - But what is TFP? (A: It's a <i>test shoot</i> by another name). I think there will be a part two of sorts to this article as the whole idea was to be about my <i>Editorial Submission</i> - The Girls Who Fell To Earth - from 2008! Recently re-edited and I think looking pretty fresh still.

*Readership; Followers are to social media what readership was and still is to magazines. Magazines are audited by independent bodies to confirm their readership numbers. The amount of money a magazine can aspire to charge for advertising is based on readership; and readership demographic. <i>Hobo News</i> can't sell adverting for the same amount as <i>Up-Yours I'm Rich</i> because; well hobos don't actually buy anything.. and getting you <i>to buy something </i>is exactly what advertising is supposed to do.<br />
