what I've been looking for

Lately I haven't had much time to do any more photo sessions, but I have had time to research different photographers and photography styles. Throughout my research, the type of photography that has stuck out to me the most is fashion photography. I've been reading magazines such as Vogue and 17 for years and never really looked closely at the fashion pictures. Since I started researching and digging deeper into the world of photography, I've started looking at the fashion pictures in magazines a lot differently. I've started to examine the angles, different styles, and how the photographer achieved the vibe they wanted the picture to give off. I'm think what interests me the most about fashion photography is the freedom you have. There is such a wide variety when it comes to the clothing, hair, makeup, environment, background, and so much more that comes along with fashion photography. Its a type of a photography that allows both the model and the photographer to express themselves. 

I was worried when I started this project that because the whole photography idea was so open ended that it wouldn't really have a structure. I feel that since i've found something specific to focus, i'll be able to gain more from this project. I'm very excited to start exploring the world of fashion photography and see where my newly found interest takes me.
