Response to Can 'real' fashion be done with a 'glamour'-type model?

from shawn gibson (SeeInsideForever@yahoo.com)
No. Most of my stuff ends up not looking like fashion per se. But I've started using a good make-up person and I'm really concentrating on the shape of thing. I want to shoot with the make-up guy, a hair person, and a lady I'm being put into contact with who is a designer; I want them all on the set and I want all of their experience. We are going to do a shoot with 2 girls and a guy in a rented hotel room. I think this is the kind of thing which will make a big difference, the participation of a number of people whose main aim is STRICT fashion, as opposed to me who loves fashion but am approaching my photography from too many angles, ending up with unfocused garbaldy goop.

I have no problem shooting men; but most of the time when I ask, men get wierded out a lot more easily than women for some reason. I'm going to start concentrating my efforts on real models with agencies and experience, even if I have to pay. The poise and professionalism of everyone involved is probably what makes the biggest difference.

what do you think Brian?
