Aperture
Aperture refers to the opening of a lens's diaphragm through which light passes. In fashion photography, controlling the aperture can affect the depth of field and bokeh, thus highlighting the subject or creating a specific mood.
Shutter Speed
Shutter speed is the amount of time the camera's shutter is open to expose light onto the camera sensor. In fashion photography, it can capture movement with clarity or intentionally blur motion for a dynamic effect.
ISO
ISO is a measure of the camera's sensitivity to light. In fashion photography, a lower ISO is typically used to ensure high image quality, while higher ISO may be used in low light situations but can introduce grain/noise.
Lighting Ratio
Lighting ratio is the comparison of light intensity between the key light and fill light. In fashion photography, it helps create dimension and texture, impacting the mood and form of the apparel.
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a composition principle dividing the frame into nine equal segments with two horizontal and two vertical lines. In fashion photography, placing elements along these lines or their intersections creates visual balance.
Leading Lines
Leading lines are visual lines that lead towards the subject or points of interest in an image. In fashion photography, they guide the viewer's attention to the model or specific details of garments.
High Key Lighting
High key lighting refers to a style of lighting that is bright and even, with minimal shadows. In fashion photography, it creates a light, airy feel and is often used for beauty shots and to highlight light and pastel colors.
Low Key Lighting
Low key lighting is a technique that emphasizes darkness and shadow, often using a single light source. In fashion photography, it creates drama and mood, and can accentuate textures and form in clothing.
Depth of Field
Depth of field (DoF) refers to the range of distance in an image that appears acceptably sharp. In fashion photography, a shallow DoF can isolate the subject from the background, while a deep DoF keeps more of the scene in focus.
RAW Format
RAW format is a file format that captures all image data recorded by the sensor when you take a photo. In fashion photography, shooting in RAW allows more flexibility in post-production for adjusting exposure, color, and other elements.
White Balance
White balance adjusts camera settings to maintain color accuracy in photos by compensating for different types of light. In fashion photography, proper white balance ensures that the clothing's colors are accurately depicted.
Backlighting
Backlighting is the process of illuminating the subject from behind. In fashion photography, it helps in creating a separation between the subject and the background, and can lend a dreamy or ethereal quality to the image.
Color Theory
Color theory is a set of principles used to create harmonious color combinations. In fashion photography, understanding color theory can help create visually appealing images and highlight the clothing by selecting complementary backgrounds and accessories.
Editorial Photography
Editorial photography is a style of photography that tells a story or illustrates an idea featured in magazines. In fashion photography, it often involves artistic storytelling to showcase fashion designs and trends within a narrative context.
Tethering
Tethering involves connecting a camera to a computer or tablet so that photos can be viewed on a larger screen immediately after capture. In fashion photography, it allows for immediate feedback and adjustments during shoots.
Catchlight
A catchlight is the reflection of a light source in the subject's eyes in a photograph. In fashion photography, a catchlight adds life and depth to the model's eyes, making the photo more engaging.
Fill Light
Fill light is a secondary light source used to reduce the intensity of shadows in a scene. In fashion photography, it is often used to illuminate the dark areas of the model or the clothing, ensuring detail is not lost in shadows.
Key Light
Key light is the primary source of light in a photograph and is typically the strongest. In fashion photography, the key light defines the subject and establishes the overall mood of the image.
Fashion Editorial
A fashion editorial refers to a series of images that present a unifying theme, story, or concept through fashion. These editorials are often found in fashion magazines and are driven by creative vision and styling rather than mere clothing display.
Post-Production
Post-production is the stage following the photoshoot where images are edited and finalized. In fashion photography, it involves retouching, color correction, and enhancement to ensure the final image represents the artistic intent and the clothing accurately.
