Shaun Alexander photographer
Shaun Alexander photographer has his own studio and a fashion team of experts that specialist in fashion studio in Los Angeles. SHAUN is a fashion, advertising, editorial photographer and he has his own unique style which he has used for the last two decades worldwide.
i have chosen 1 black which because it look 's classical and high -lights can be seen more clearly..
The light falls on the lady's face and hair more and the man is on the shade side.
To get lighting like this in the studio is very difficult and lots of practice is needed.
The lady looks very lady and the man looks more muscular, in the shads like a protector looking straight into the viewer of the image and the women looking also at the viewer but from the side and she is wearing pearls.
My 2 image by SHAUN is in colour and painting is involved. The reason i chose that image below is because i loved the way he has used landscape with fashion and is eye catching for me and any one who has love for landscape.
Why I chose this image out of hundreds?
Strong bold colours
Colours of the rainbow
White clean, fresh colour of the lady’s top with blue flower patterns like the white sky and light blue cloud colour and on the other side of the top, yellow and violet peaceful lavender plants that are relaxing to the mind that blend into the path of the ground.
Her skin tone is soft yet the colour can blend in with the twigs on a sunning day with the sun shining on it. Her eyes are bright and are staring right into the camera lenses furthermore her eye balls have been changed so so white that they stand out. The eye make-up on the left eye is like the flower that blends in with the whole picture and the eye ball represents the carpel of the flower. On the other side of the face near the eye area, they are patterns of flower patels that are also in the same black make-up.
The lip colour is pastel pink so the views eyes are drown to the eyes and the rest of the image but not so much on the lips.
The cap holds it all, the wild forest, trees branching out from the foot of the cap that is near the eyes, the eyes are the main focus point. The rainbow colours of the cap with mostly the purple and violet colours. The light is on the right side of the cap and on the left side of the cap there is much less light so that one side looks more like the forest colour, brown and green land.
Beside the beauty of the flowers, land, the rainbow colours and the beauty of the lady make-up, the picture is also showing fine art and digital work advertising.

I chose a neutral images, even though the colour it’s more of a neutral colour and the lighting is really good and powerful but looks unrealistic.
The contrast and the brightness is balanced the strands, even the strands of her hair can be seen clearly and the outfit can be seen clearly. In the first image the name of the corporation Alice Abraham is in capital letters can be seen clearly even through the colours match the
image. the lady;s pose is very muscular even-thought she looks sexes due to pearls and one leg not covered with the dress.

it looks as if air brushing has been used, lots of work in Photoshop has been done for example, eyes have improved, lips, skin, and colour changes made but, to get good end results.
A little more about fashion Photographer,
SHAUN Alexander
At the moment he and his team are based in Los Angeles CA who is highly specialize in fashion photography but they are not restricted to one city or one style, this can be seen from the example images I have chosen below.
Shaun's background is in art and photography.
His photography work is very creative in the area of fashion, advertising, glamour, beauty, lingerie, boudoir, vogue style journalistic, weddings, fine art and black and white photography.
SHAUN has had many awards for print ads, album covers, CD cover, and magazine covers worldwide. The images are unique, stunning, and highly professional and most of his images by looking at them may have been through Photoshop.
SHAUN has been an established professional photographer since 1985, for over two and a half decades, he has captured millions of extraordinary images.
His genius mind and creativity combined with his flawless eye for details and is one of the best and the most sought photographers in his home town, Los Angeles, California.
He is a person who can bring a wow factor to his images no matter how big or small the job is and it can be seen clearly.
DAVID Bailey, most of his work is in black
and white with light an the key feature is to focus.
David Bailey is an English photographing and has produced outstanding for the last five
decades. He made his mark capturing images normal people and later became stars of the new generation, his images were eye catching and noticeable even thought most of his work is in black and white. DAVID'S work including models for example, Jean Shrimpton and
Penelope Tree. Ever since then his work has never failed to strike and inspire the
critics.
DAVID has
captured iconic images of legends such as: The Rolling Stones, the Kray twins,
Damien Hirst and Kate Moss.
His black and white studio images taken in the studio are so powerful due to the use of studio lighting
on images and your eyes are automatically drawn to the section
of the image, see examples below;
Kate Moss portrait,
In this image DAVID has tried to put across the true nature of the subject, in this case Kate Moss beauty, the light is on the one eye and the lower shoulder of the body and other side of the shoulder has less light, the hand also the light, therefore your eye is automatically drawn to the eye which is the powerful section of the portrait. The other eye is covered by the hair yet the hair is well light and glowing.
I think framing & lighting set-up is the most important in a studio, even though lighting set-up can only be 1 or 2. In this
case can be a front lighting.
My 2nd image is of Jack Nicholson, why?
Its different yet show the true expression
of him usually seen in films. Yet the below, image has a good composition,
strong facial language and possibly would stand out of a crowd and something to
talk about when you see this portrait, not just look at it and forget it.
Plus it
does make you smile and you do look at it.
