Real People vs Fashion Models

I like shooting real people and actually left the fashion business when that look of the drugged out waif was getting hot. I don't find it interesting, sexy or worthy of adulation so I said 'screw it' and moved to more editorial and corporate. I am back shooting and very excited about the real people look.

Rise Of the Real People | Newsweek Culture | Newsweek.com: "Much of this interest in real-looking models is driven by the Internet, which has democratized the once rarefied world of high fashion. 'Fashion shows used to be for a very small number of people, very exclusive,' says 'Look Book' editor Amy Larocca. 'Now you can see them an hour later on the Internet. Everyone can be involved.' Larocca also links the increased accessibility of fashion to the number of high-end designers creating affordable lines for mass-market stores, such as Isaac Mizrahi's collection for Target, as well as reality shows such as 'Project Runway.'"
