We'll teach you how to use a basic light meter to correctly expose your photos, how to direct a model, and how to turn a good photograph into an exceptional one using the latest post-production tools like Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Apple Aperture. You don't need an expensive SLR to shoot fashion. A quick browse through i-D magazine proves that a point-and-shoot camera with a crude flash can sometimes be enough to capture a compelling image. If you do have a digital SLR, such as the Nikon D80 or Sony Alpha 100, you'll be able to take advantage of a range of interesting effects that these cameras can produce. You'll also be in a much better position to shoot a style of photography that's suitable for high-fashion magazines. This is the type of photography we'll be concentrating on here. Photography has become astonishingly accessible, and a very capable digital SLR is more affordable than ever--certainly under 1,000 pounds. If you're serious about photography, we suggest you get your hands on one. If you don't have a digital SLR, you can still follow our tutorial, but you'll need to be more inventive with your technique.
