Yanick Dery is a fashion photographer who works out of New York and Quebec.

I came across his website and was impressed with his work. Specifically, have a look through the "fashion and beauty" section of his website. Great use of composition and lighting!

Billy Pegram

Check out Billy Pegram for some fantastic work.

From Isis Jeans to Lord of the Dance, Billy has shot some big name stuff. Have a look through his portfolio and see what you can learn from it.

I have to say, I love his home page (above image). Awesome visual impact!

Check out Rolando Gomez for some great fashion and glamour images. Some great lighting and posing here.

Take a look through the portfolios and pick out your favourite images. Once you've chosen your favourites, spend some time figuring out how they're lit.

Can you see where the light is coming from?

How many lights were used?

This is a great exercise to build your lighting skills. If you're already an expert, then it's a great exercise to keep your skills honed.

Rolando has also published several books on the lighting, glamour, fashion, and posing.

Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott - Fashion Photographers

So my previous post about Ashton's video of Demi's photo shoot got me curious.

Who are Mert & Marcus?

Turns out Mert & Marcus ARE fashion photography these days. Everyone who's anyone would kill to have Mert & Marcus shoot them.

Check out this article over at thefashionspot.com. Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott - Fashion Photographers

Their use of light and creativity with posing is worth having a look at. As always, you can learn a lot from studying the work of others.
