8 Fashion Photographers to Follow on Instagram

Fashion is ever present. It encompasses popular styles in clothing and accessories, including foot wear, makeup, and jewelry. What is fashionable to wear is dictated by designers, models, and celebrities. From runway shows to ads and retail store promotions, current trends in fashion are shared through various types of media, but primarily through photographs.
In order to bring you the best in fashion trends, one needs a skilled fashion/portrait photographer. Fashion and portrait photography have a lot in common, which is why you see so much cross over between the two. It’s hard to be good at fashion photography without being a good portrait photographer, because a photographer’s ability to capture the emotion of the model is a key to engaging with the audience.
