9 Websites Fashion Photographers Will Love

Clothes don’t sell themselves—photographs do. In the world of fashion, the photograph is the medium through which consumers can mostly accurately picture themselves wearing a clothing article or accessory. The fashion photograph says to the consumer, “This is what you’d look like in this outfit—cool, beautiful, edgy.”

As for photographers, the fashion industry is a place where the photographer is free to let go of rules and focus on visual intrigue. Vibrant makeup, impractical hairstyles, boots that are ten feet tall, men wearing warpaint while riding on elephants—anything is acceptable for a fashion editorial.

Below we’ve put together a list of fashion photography websites that will both educate you and indulge your senses.

1. Lara Jade Workshops

Lara Jade is a master of fashion photography. She began shooting self-portraits as a teenager, which allowed her to hone her skills and develop a unique style. Since then, her photography skills have been recognized by high-profile clients, resulting in an extremely impressive career in fashion photography.

Jade hosts a number of workshops every year around the world. She picks fun, whimsical shooting locations that she calls her “playgrounds.” If you attend one of her workshops, you can expect to work with professional models, wardrobe stylists, hair and makeup artists, and industry leaders. The workshops have an intimate number of attendees so that you will receive personal attention and mentorship while you work.
