HIGH FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY An Appetite for Excellence on Beauty and Art Article by CLEMENT DAMPAL II
“Have you ever captured any high fashion-themed images?” This is the question I asked myself when I turned my attention to High Fashion in order to improve my craft in Photography.

There is something on their images which clearly communicate an idea or an emotion.

Today, it reflects a lifestyle, an attitude, and a story comprised of the subject(s), location, styling, make-up, hair and photographer’s vision.” Fashion Photography is about the message that the image transmits. Since the project is somewhat like an ambitious one, I opened the idea and collaborated with the CDOPP (Cagayan de Oro Photographers Photoshoot), a young and energetic group composed of dynamic, passionate and creative photographers and
