Jo Duck is a photographer that is so versatile, he truly is amazing.  Not only does he work extremely fast, but his work is very meticulous and that is exactly why it is so good.  Jo Duck, to me, brings a fresh face to the fashion-photography world and he shoots some of his models in pairs.  His talents really lie in capturing the location, the fashionable clothing not to mention the overall personality of himself as well as the models.  He can honestly tell you a whole story in his pictures without ever having to say a single word.

The other cool thing about Jo Duck is the fact that he works with models that are not super high on the model-chain yet.  He actually works mostly with up-and-comers, so if you are looking for a way to get yourself in the modeling industry, Jo Duck could be the guy that helps you with that.

Jo Duck’s work has appeared pretty much everywhere, from countless billboards all the way to tons of different publications – so keep your eyes peeled!

I have to tell you guys that Edgar de Evia is by far one of the best photographers in the world.  This guy has not only done some advertising campaigns in his day, but he has definitely been doing pictures for magazines and newspapers for years!

Edgar de Evia’s experience is well known but that is not what I am going to honor here.  If we were a blog looking for photographers that just do all sorts of advertising campaigns and such, we would be a different blog – we are all about fashion photographers and that is exactly what this Mexico-born photographer is all about.

Take this particular picture for example.  I absolutely love the way that it looks, the umbrella, the position of the people and by far the fact that it is in black and white.  Edgar de Evia definitely has talent leaking all over the place and I think that he can absolutely pull off some high editorial things – if he was still alive that is…

It has to be said that Polly Chandler is one of those people that is absolutely incredible in her craft.  Polly is an American photographer and she definitely has something that is extremely different, stylish and all around fashion-forward without her knowing about it.  Polly actually started her career in Graphic Design but instead of pursuing that, she went with her passion, photography.

Currently, Polly is living in Austin Texas and she has appeared in everything from B & W Magazine, Shots Magazine and Photolife and that is just the beginning!  She is definitely something special and through her selective backgrounds and life experiences, Polly really does have something that is special and unique in the way of telling a story with her photos.

So if you want someone that makes her photos look incredible and really has an eye for everything in the world – you should look at Polly Chandler’s collections!

One thing that I have noticed about photographers nowadays is that a lot of them have actually lost a lot of their passion.  That is definitely not the case with Raya.  This incredible photographer is actually a local one and while she is not all that popular as of right now, if she can belt out pictures like this one – I have to say that she is going to the top.  Not only is this photographer one that likes to work with people, but she also likes to incorporate animals as much as possible into all of her photography.

In 2005, this particular photographer won a prize at the Cannes and I have to say that I can not blame them for giving her something!  There is something here and I absolutely love everything about this particular picture.  This picture has captured everything inside of it and to be honest, I have fallen completely and totally in love with it.

So take another look at this photo – seriously, take another look at it and tell me that you do not think that this particular photo is going places.

I have to admit that at first I was a little taken back by Guy Bourdin’s photography.  While I did not want to be because I know that it is all fashion photography, I could not help but really be taken back by it, but after exploring a little bit more, I realized that he is a shocker photographer.  He is in it for the shock and some of his ads honestly come out incredible!

While in almost every single one of his pictures, a woman is naked, they are usually doing something different and unique.  For example, he has a picture that has a woman face down, naked with a stream of blood coming out of her mouth.  While that might be a little morbid, it is also extremely beautiful.

So if you want shocking and art, you should definitely take a look at Guy Bourdin, he’s totally fashion and totally art – incredible all over the place!

One photographer that I know is going to go places is Sarah Charlesworth, she is definitely someone that I would absolutely love to meet and when you take in the picture above, I swear that this chick really has some talent!  Not only can she make something as a flower seem so freakin’ complex, but she can bring it to life right in front of you and really make you think about it!

That is exactly what this picture did for me!  It really made me think about it and that is what I believe a great picture should do to you.  Not only is Sarah Charlesworth one of the best female photographers in the world, but I definitely think that she is thee best female photographer in the world.

So check her out some more and you will see that her work really is incredible and her pictures are definitely worth a second glance!

I have to say that I am a little bias.  I know it; I watch ANTM and I am a huge, huge, huge fan of fashion photography.  While I, personally have shot just a few fashion-forward shots (yes, I photograph myself!), I do not consider myself on nearly the level that Marco Tenaglia is at.  Seriously, this guy knows exactly what he is doing whenever he taking a fashion photograph.

I honestly think that he is going to be the next Michael Rosethal and while I love Mike, I think that Marco is coming right up on his heels!  So here is just one of the many pictures available by Marco Tenaglia that you can look at.  This is by far one of my favorite though, so don’t critique it too much!

What types of photographers do you people like?  Come on, give me some feedback!

One thing that I’ve noticed about fashion photography is that a lot of people do not understand it really.  To be honest, I don’t really understand it sometimes, but when I came across this picture by Bruno Dyan, I thought it looked pretty neat and it seems that the more you stare at it, the more you kind of get it.  All of the elements in the photo truly are there for a reason and that is what I like about it!

Bruno Dyan is actually a newer photographer and I think that he is going to definitely be on the up and comer list soon if he keeps churning out pictures like this one.  This picture looks absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and I think that you should take a second look at it!

So really — Bruno Dyan people, he is pretty freakin’ awesome with his bad self!

One photography section that does not seem to get a whole lot of attention is the fetish and bondage section and that is exactly what Dixie Fernandez does.  This is just one of the many pictures she has taken where she has placed the model in some type of bondage wear.

Personally, I am not into the fetish photography myself, but I think that it is kind of neat the way that they do it.  I love leather and they definitely do use a lot of that, but I think for me, it is more of a control thing.  I like to be in control versus being controlled, so that is my problem.

But ladies and gentlemen, Dixie Fernandez is a brand new photographer that is an up and comer in the bondage fashion photography and you heard it here first!

Andreas Bitesnich is one of those photographers that I would not have expected that I would like.  Personally, as stated in the previous post, I am more into the gothic photography and the olden times but this – this is nude photography and I have to be honest, I am not the hugest fan of nude photography.  This though, I think that this is by far one of the greatest pictures we have had on this blog to date.  It looks great, is full of energy and is certainly one of the best photographs in the world.

Andreas Bitesnich what many people do not know originally started working in retail but eventually he found his passion for photography via a friend and who was an assistant photographer.  Andreas Bitesnich has no – absolutely no education in photography and that is something that I think is so cool about him.  He really went for it and in 1989 he actually quit his job and started to pursue his career in photography.

Obviously, since he has pictures like this all over, he definitely has made it and is know one of the world renowned nude photographers.  So see, dreams can come true without education!
