Last week, Sarah, presented some of the work of the Australian fashion photographer, Georges Antoni. He has worked for a lot of the big fashion designers and department stores. He must have always had in interest in photography and appears to have been self taught. Just imagine being able to walk in off the street and get a job as a photographer at a modelling agency without any qualifications!
His childhood has obviously influenced his specialisation, growing up with sisters and the family run clothes shop. I’ve posted a link to his website which has a comprehensive showing of his work. He uses contrast, composition and negative space to build his photos. He says that he loves the accountability of being a photographer. A good photo means he has done a good job. A bad photo means he has done a bad job. The evidence is there for all to see. However, we watched a fashion shoot for the store Jacqueline Eve and there were a lot of other people involved (from creating the initial concept and designing the clothes to creating the right look with makeup, hair, clothes, mood etc.). So he is not in total control but has the task of bringing it all together successfully.
