I actually like that this article did not focus too much on what brand camera he used or lighting diagrams. There are already plenty of sites on the internet about that stuff.

You’re right! It’s a tool, like a hammer! But the point is: a wood hammer sometimes will not do a job an iron hammer would do. So equipment matters. Trust me, he does care about what he is using. It’s not coincidence that he gets the exact results he wants. He knows what he wants e and knows how to get it the way he wants.

I may be showing my fashion photography naivety here, but what was striking to me was the fact that he hired people to do the retouching and he hates to edit his images. I would think this is part of the process that brings what one sees to fruition – at least it is to me. Regardless, a good first piece!

That’s how you recognize a true artist. He doesn’t care what tools he uses to craft his piece, on ly the finished result. Way too many photographers these days worry about choosing a 1200Ws or a 2400W/s , or which lens is sharpest at 1.4 or 1.8 or blablabla.

You have to distance yourself from that bullshit once you’ve understood the basic mechanisms(which you need to know by heart) in order to appreciate what you create and embellish it.

No photographer at that level (Vogue, ELLE, GQ, Haarper’s, …) worries about the latest in gear. They just don’t care. A lot of them still shoot D3s, 5DMkII’s, or old Hassy’s & PO’s. They just don’t care. It’s a tool, like a hammer.

Vision over Gear. Helmut Newton knew it!

I feel the same way, Bram. I’ll make use of two strobes and a reflector if the situation calls for it. But I prefer natural lighting as well. It’s more authentic.
