fashion photography

application
fashion photography tends to be a photo of a slim attractive female because the purpose is to show the clothes the person is wearing ever because the clothes are new or a new style or to fit a certain session or to show a selected item like a bag or neckless the aim for fashion is to sell of a stlye or choise of colour it even gets down to making people think what style of clothing should be worn to suit certain sessions and the difference between advertising and fashion is that fashion has a set clientel meaning only certain people are intrested in it and likly to view the photos taken so it doesent matter what the photo reveals but because of this fashion will not get advertised in clear site which means only people that want to see fashion photography will be the only people to vie it where as advertising focused on a much larger range of people and gets deplayed all over the place but will only show images that any age genre can view and th purpose is to sell a certain product that will be on display.

context
fashion is seen on tv, magazines, cd covers, internet, due to the effects fashion has on people all celebrity follow fashion because they have the money to get the top brand clothes and because of this every one else wants to have what they've got so people all over the world try to follow some ones style of clothing ever seen on tv or seen around the area they live in so fashion has taken over mostly every ones lifes which we see the effects of this in every day life.
techniques
one of the way photos are change in fashion is in a media studio alot of editing gets used to change a photograph to make the female look better by moving parts of the face, geting ride of bags and spots or to even inhance there breasts i think this is diseptive because it doesent show the real person i also think that the fashion idustry dont except people for who they are the photo is allways influenced by some one which makes the person look like some one else. they do this by make up and changing hair even wigs which takes away the element of it being real
