CATALOG PHOTOGRAPHY:

Catalog photography is a form of fashion photography that is simple and straightforward. In fact, its name speaks for itself, as this type of photography can be found browsing through a catalog or online store. Therefore, catalog photography is perfect for both commercial and e-commerce purposes. It is an ideal starting point when establishing your business, as it is done to showcase your product with a model. 

Catalog photography, as mentioned previously, is more straightforward, meaning that it is extremely minimalistic. It focuses on the clothing, as opposed to the model. Catalog photography is done to turn your audience into customers. Therefore, catalog photography is generally neutral, in a normal setting, using a solid background. The models should be standing up straight or may include other stances to display certain highlights of the product, such as pockets.

HIGH FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY:

The next form of fashion photography is known as high fashion photography, which is what you often see on the front page of magazines with well-known models or celebrities posing as the model, with exaggerated poses, abstract attire, remarkable settings, unrealistic props, hairstyles, and makeup. 

Because high fashion photography is far more complex, it can be a very difficult task, as there are many elements to think about, all while making it appear captivating, unique, and beautiful. High fashion photography requires a high level of creativity, along with a solid and experienced team that understands the complexities of these types of photoshoots. High fashion photography often involves makeup artists, hair stylists, wardrobe stylists, a director, and multiple assistants to ensure the entire shoot runs smoothly. 

In addition, high fashion photography often involves a wide range of different locations. So you’ll need to consider weather, wind, lighting equipment, and permits (depending on your desired location).

STEET FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

Street fashion, otherwise known as urban fashion, generally features popular trends and tends to be the most relatable type of photography. There are certainly no limitations when it comes to street fashion, as one could wear casual clothing or something a little more flashy. Whatever the case, the essence of street fashion is to capture one’s unique and personal style. It captures one’s style among the general public.

Generally, street fashion photography is done utilizing a longer lens. This is because street fashion photography is typically captured from a longer distance, catching the latest trends. Street fashion is more than just what one is wearing, though. In fact, when done effectively, it showcases one’s attitude, confidence, expression, and more. Street fashion photography can be a photo of a random person on the street (with their permission) or of a lifestyle and fashion blogger. Everything about street photography should be real and genuine.

EDITORIAL FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY

Editorial fashion photography focuses on fashion, accompanied by telling a story. It can be featured in magazines, posters, newspapers, among other types of media. While the fashion and style are the main center points of the photoshoot, it is done all while telling a story through the photography, which also involves texts, articles, and other elements that include a variety of topics that are also being showcased and discussed. The goal of an editorial photoshoot is to make a strong statement about the product or brand, which includes unique makeup, hairstyles, props, settings, and more. Editorial fashion photography requires a high level of creativity and because there are so many elements involved, such as the fashion and storytelling elements, it is certainly one of the most rewarding types of photography out there.
