EYE ON FASHION | the MALE photographer
the last post I wrote about fashion was for YOU - the fashionable photographer...and in doing so, I overlooked a very important demographic to Senior Style Guide...the MALE fashionable photographer! :)I apologize for overlooking you men out there!my only excuse in being a WOman, is that I tend to think solely female. ;)not this week!it's high-time I paid attention to the fashionable MALE photographer...so gentlemen?!this one is for you! :)I have to say a quick thank you to Ryan, Tim, Josh, Aaron, Eli + Kris for helping me with my research for this article...again, I'm claiming the girl-card and leaned heavily on these fashionable men to declare what I think would be helpful tips for male photographer's looking for a little fashion as they head out to their sessions!first, let's talk about the gear...nope, not canon vs. nikon...but bags and straps that actually work for you - the photographer!function and simplicity won out in these two categories...and surprisingly, the messenger-style bag competed pretty evenly with the backpack-style bag.Quicksilver and Dakine ranked high in function while maintaining an of-the-now fashion-sense...as far as straps...I really liked the Moore + Gils timeless leather strap...a function-able, classy approach to camera straps!
aside from the gear, simplistic-functional clothing was the topic of conversation...below I deconstructed what I think what a fashionable photographer might wear to a senior session...and the only thing I'll stress is the non-visual element to your wardrobe, men...cologne.for me, it's a deal breaker...if my sinus' are singed after a session, that session will be memorable for an entirelydifferent reason than the images. :)swiss army is my all-time favorite go-to scent when clients ask me (and they do!)...it's a clean, just-fresh-out-of-the-shower smell that again, is timeless in my opinion!
so that’s fashion for the MALE fashionable photographer!I appreciate your opinions and as always,MUCH love to you and feel free to drop by to say hello!
