Have you ever gone on vacation and come back wondering why your photos just don’t look as good as the ones you see in magazines? I do all the time, and let me tell you - throwing more technology at it won’t make that big of a difference.
The reason celebrity photos always look so great is:
As evidence of this fact, here is a time lapse video of Michael Grecco shooting Martin Scorsese for OnDirecTV magazine.

[...] Der er mange grunde til at kendte mennesker tager sig så godt ud i blade og film. Den ene er selvfølgelig at der bliver brugt computere i processen; men en anden er også at det er rigtigt dygtige fotografer der tager billederne « Endnu en test | 07.03.07 | _Tiny News Tilbagesvar [...]

Great tip! I love making ofs. It’s also very interesting to note that they use a “model” to check lighting before Scorcese comes out. Brilliant

Thanks for the video and insight. All that effort and equipment for a great looking photograph? I think they need better cameras
If you’re not technically “harming” the chicks, I wonder if PETA has any objection to fashionably fluffy chicks?
A good friend of mine comes from a family who’s living is in photography and watching him go start to finish on a portrait is almost a work of art. Creases in the face, wrinkles, bad lighting, all softens if not fades all together.
If you have luck and/or the right motive you’ll be able to make great shots even without a lot of post-production. Even in the age of digital photography we amateurs should think about what we want to see on a picture instead of making 1000 shots and maybe there is one good on it.
Thinking about your motiv, the background and the objective of your picture takes less time than viewing 100 pictures and find a maybe good one

I never knew it was so complex. Thanks for the great vid.
Daniela Krajnc meets Anna Chakvetadze, that’s the way, when celebrities looking great
I am a pro photographer and this video is a testament to getting it right in camera. Thanks for posting this video. Hopefully, it will serve as education for the masses on how photography is really a skill!
… good photography is a real skill. saves a lot of time on photoshop. I work with some under-water photoPros (no I am not the model). Next to the equipment the most important thing is “Time”. Getting your motive used to the diver. Many people have UW cameras, taking 100 of pictures on a dive. Most Pros taking 15-25 (some still swear on slides, not ) and may have 1 or 2 real exiting pictures out of them, while the “snapshooters” have 10 ok-picutres, but none of them can cause any excitement…
But even with a “cheap” setup but a lot of time you can get some great results. Have a look…

John, I hope it is ok to post that link, if not just delete my comment, no problem
So what you meant to say is that they do it because they are experienced & facilitated.I think this is the right way to take it.This motivates me to pick up my camera & start experimenting.Not easy but not impossible to capture photographs as beautiful as celebrities.
