ALEX BEER - CONFESSIONS OF A MODEL TURNED FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER Continued from previous page....
6. What made you want to crossover and work behind the camera as photographer? I have always loved photography and art. I like to be moved by images, igniting feeling and emotion inside me. Being a model is sometimes very frustrating as you are just a subject, you have no creative scope or control. I am fascinated by everything that goes into creating a great shot; From finding locations to models to getting the right light, I could not wait to start taking pictures. I love the excitement I get from taking pictures. The self-fulfilling buzz and passion.

7. Does your experience as a model influence and improve how you work as a photographer? Being a model has helped enormously..! I understand angles of models, body posing and above all how to make the models feel relaxed to allow their personality and spirit to shine through in shots.
8. Any upcoming shoots that you can tell us about? I am shooting the Autumn editorial for Refresh Magazine. And this month, the ad campaign for Nico-D. That's all I can tell you about at this stage anyway! 9. What is your favourite movie of all time? Matrix. |
