“… Can I model? …” Continued… The Politics of Fashion Photography Part 12 will not be written by me. Instead, it is a short essay written in response to my Part 11 of this series by Miami Photographer John Fisher. I found it worthy of being posted, as it sheds a very personal note to [...]

The Politics of Fashion Photography Part 11
A Short, But Sweet Rant…”Can I Model?” After more years in this business than I want to say, one of the classic lines I have heard more than any other is “…Do you think I can model?” It has gotten to the point when I get asked “THE” question, I shirk and want to run [...]

Commitment is why I don’t do Critiques…
