[QUOTE="ianmoff, post: 2571, member: 964"] I can understand that - If you're on a photography course you should be learning how to use a 'full blown' camera. You have very little control over a phone camera. I think the point the guy was making in the video was that you don't have to have the top end kit to get a good fashion shoot photo. Too many people get caught up in this 'Must have more pixels. Must have latest and most expensive model'. He freely admitted and demonstrated the use of professional lighting and the fact that the images went to a 'retouching house'. Not just him and a copy of Photoshop but a company specifically designed to retouch photos.
