The Beauty Part
From the photos it’s easy to tell that Richard, who is in the final year
of the Institute’s three-year bachelor of fine arts program, hopes to
work in fashion and advertising. “I enjoy working with people,”
he says, “and would like to be a free-lance commercial photographer doing
advertising and fashion work….” The images are from the specialist’s
portfolio students are assigned to produce in addition to their class work.
His early influences were Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and others from Group
f/64, but his interest in fashion has led to his appreciation of the work of
Patrick Demarchelier and Steve Meisel, among other fashion photographers. With
an internship a requirement for graduation, he’s hoping to fill that position
with fashion photographer Liz Von Hoene.
“I get five fashion magazines regularly so I can see what’s going
on,” Richard says. He knows that in the fashion field what went on a few
months ago may provide ideas and inspiration, but, he says, “if I’m
shooting something now for a magazine, I’ve got to be three months ahead
of now.”
