When shooting Fashion:

• Know the rules, then break ‘em. In a good portrait shot, place the subject’s eyes in the a third of the way down from the top of the frame. To get a great shot, though, let your personal style shine through.
• Plan ahead. It’s not enough to show up with amazing gear and get amazing shots. When planning a shoot, think about what feeling you want to convey in the shots you’re after, who the audience will be, and what the goal is of the images you are going to create.
• Follow the lines. Creating visual art is about establishing and manipulating lines that draw and lead the eye. Repositioning your subject in sometimes subtle ways - the tilt of chin, the fall of fabric - can dramatically alter the scene.
