The Importance of Video and Fashion Films In today’s fashion industry, video has become just as crucial as photography. Fashion films bring a dynamic element to storytelling, allowing brands and designers to showcase their creations in a more immersive and engaging way. Why Fashion Films Matter: Fashion films combine the visual impact of photography with the narrative depth of film. They capture the movement, texture, and emotion of fashion in a way that still images sometimes can’t. These films are perfect for highlighting the flow of fabrics, the intricacies of design, and the personality behind the fashion. For our Grazia Croatia editorial, incorporating video allowed us to present the collection in a richer context. The fluidity of the garments, the ambiance of the setting, and the mood we wanted to convey all came to life through motion. Fashion films enhance the storytelling aspect, providing a deeper connection with the audience and offering a more comprehensive view of the designer's vision. You can explore some of our fashion films and see how they complement our photography work on my website www.andrewsdiez.com. What are your thoughts on the role of video in fashion? Do you find fashion films as captivating as photography? Let’s discuss! #FashionPhotography #FashionFilms #VideoInFashion #GraziaCroatia #AndrewSDiez #CreativeProcess

Important steps for first-time fashion brand founders...SIMPLIFIED 1. Turn your designs into tech packs and patterns (make sure you own them) 2. Source high-quality manufacturers (super important) 3. Get your samples and do a photoshoot 4. Build your community and get pre-orders for launch 5. Launch. Deliver. Have good customer service. We all know there is sooooo much more that goes into each of these steps. That's why I said simplified. 😅 If you need help with any steps- reach out in my DMs. This was from my first Trinity Mototech photoshoot. 🖤

1191 views on YouTube, and what do I get? Just one backhanded compliment from a non-existent person hiding behind a username. No videos, no images, no music—nothing. Just a username. She/he/it—or should I say SHiT—has nothing to back up their opinion. I’ve been a creative artist for all my 50 years on this planet. From my first pack of Crayola crayons, I’ve dabbled in countless creative outlets. I eventually landed in Graphic Art Design and Communication, along with Photography. Perfect timing, right? Just as Photoshop decided to make my expensive software licenses obsolete by morphing into an overpriced cloud-based service. I built my first pinhole camera as a high school freshman. By 16, I was shooting daily with my father’s professional Nikon. I spent my 20s as a professional Drag Queen Entertainer and writer. Over the years, I’ve designed ads for local bars and clubs, brochures and flyers for nonprofits, comp cards, business cards for friends, portraits, weddings, and special events—you name it. I even shot a home layout for an architect featured in Architectural Digest. I’ve had the honor of presenting my work to several companies for national ad campaigns. I haven’t sold one yet, but I will soon with my new AI Assistant. I make no apologies for using AI assistance in my work or creative process. For this unknown she/he/it—or SHiT—or anyone else who dares to criticize an artist for using AI assistance, here’s my response: “Oh, what a delightfully backhanded compliment you've offered me. Since AI is the only thing you seem to think is ‘very good,’ I’ll take that as a nod of approval from a faceless algorithm with zero credentials—no videos, no history—nothing that would remotely qualify it to critique, let alone criticize, an actual artist like me. But hey, you're right, AI is fantastic—especially when wielded by someone who actually knows what they’re doing. So here's the reality: step up or get steamrolled, because this is what it means to be an artist in today’s world. I make no apologies for using AI to express myself. Over the years, I’ve been gradually pushed into obsolescence as a professional freelance graphic designer and photographer. The digital revolution turned anyone with a camera or a cell phone into an instant ‘photographer,’ armed with filters, effects, and now AI. So yes, AI is great! It’s boosted my productivity and opened up new avenues for me to reclaim the freelance design market—once hijacked by any kid with a phone. It’s given new life to an older artist like me. AI art is here to stay, and unless you adapt, you’ll be left in the dust. The trick is finding a niche and making it work. So, thanks again for the compliment—such as it is.” Yours truly, Iain Smillie, IS Artist, Designer, Photographer, Writer, and user of AI Assistance

This would have been incredible a couple of years ago! The leader from black and white analogue film material Harman Photography introducing a colour negative film, fittingly called Phoenix! Interestingly, it is advertised to have visible grain, halation and coating anomalies! Far from meaning poor production standards, these "mistakes" are advertised to catch the attention of a target group looking for a creative process which integrates surprises along the way.... far away from the digital perfection mainstream! Another hint for this trend is the popularity of adapting vintage lenses that came from a time in which quality spread in the production created lenses with "individual character" to modern mounts. As a standard technology analogue film based technology advertised perfection. As an underdog technology ( and in a far smaller market) it know advertise irregularities as creativity enablers.

With nine years of experience in the fashion industry, I've forged my path from the ground up, without the support of family connections or financial backing. Now, I'm ready to share three invaluable tips to help aspiring photographers and filmmakers break into this competitive field. 1. Connect with the Right People: Starting from scratch without any financial backing or family connections can be challenging, but it’s entirely possible to succeed with the right approach. In the fashion industry, clients often rely on stylists to curate and produce shoots, making them valuable contacts for aspiring photographers and filmmakers. By networking with stylists and showcasing your talents, you can establish yourself as a reliable collaborator, opening doors to opportunities despite starting with limited resources. 2. Build a Strong Portfolio: When you’re starting with little to no funds, building a portfolio can seem daunting, but it’s essential for gaining traction in the industry. Diversifying your portfolio is key, as it demonstrates your versatility and attracts a broader range of clients. While editorials may offer exposure, the real growth and financial stability often come from campaigns and advertisements. Starting small by collaborating with emerging brands or artists allows you to showcase your skills while gradually expanding your portfolio, even if it means investing your own money to a certain extent. 3. Collaborate Wisely: It’s crucial to navigate the fine line between collaboration and exploitation, especially when you’re starting from scratch. While collaboration is essential for growth, it’s essential to ensure that you’re not being taken advantage of in the name of exposure. Clearly defining the terms of collaboration, such as limiting the number of garments featured or setting boundaries, helps maintain a fair and respectful partnership. By prioritizing mutual benefit and ethical practices, you can build positive relationships and avoid exploitation in your journey towards success in the fashion industry. By following these steps, you can navigate the competitive fashion world and pave your way to success as a photographer or filmmaker. Remember, success takes time. Take it one step at a time, and prioritize long-term stability over quick wins. Focus on building relationships, improving your skills, and making smart choices. Don't rush. Take your time to achieve lasting success in the fashion industry. Tag your friends who want to break into the fashion scene or are facing challenges getting started.

Hi, let me ask it directly, would you wear this to a funeral? (I would🤭🖤) . Well I've been busy with something, I decided to finish my half done works, and this digital work that you see is one of the first ideas that I had at the first place I stepped into the fashion design and I couldn't finish it then but I've done it now. I tried other techniques on it too but I ended up posting this one, if you're interested to take a look, let me know in the comments. #fashion #digitalpainting #illustration #Artavia
