Being a photographer can be quite tough. You don’t get as much limelight as the models in the shoot, like how everyone will comment more about the way she worked it, and (unless you are Testino), you hardly get recognized. You know I always talk about models, designers etc… but I do have favourite photographers. I appreciate Greg Kadel and Mario Sorrenti’s work mostly, while Emma Summerton’s work has also been constantly impressive.

I am going to share some pictures of a few famous fashion photographers, so that in case you bumped into any of them, you can have a star struck moment.

Steven Meisel

He might be one of the most celebrated fashion photographers but he is notoriously media shy. If you google his name, I doubt you can find a picture of him. This is just his Facebook profile picture, you can catch him in the 80s’ movie ‘Portfolio’, and see how hyper he actually is— ”Wake up everybody! Keep Moving!”.

Mario Testino

Probably the most non-media shy of the batch, attending many shows and events… He gets attention mostly due to his many celeb clients and he dominates the best magazines— covers for Vogue US and editorials for Vogue Paris etc.

Inez & Vinoodh

Dutch power couple behind ad campaigns like Gucci, Chloé, Valentino, YSL and many Vogue Nippon covers + many editorials in Vogue Paris.

Mario Sorrenti (left, with Lily D)

He just returned to his aesthetics by posing on the cover of Purple magazine with Kate Moss. I am very in love with his Nina Ricci fall 08′ campaign featuring Natasha Poly, that’s where I started to like his work even more.

Patrick Demarchelier (right, with wife Mia)

Remember how Miranda Priestly kept asking for him in ‘The Devil Weas Prada’? He has been around for ages but seems to slowed down a little in recent years. 

Steven Klein (right, with Gwyneth Paltrow)

His recent work (Loewe, D&G…) seems to involve lots of horses & other animals… and very moody. 

David Sims (right, with wife Luella Bartley)

Shoots all Balenciaga ads, enough said. 

Craig McDean (right, with Grace Coddington)

Trivia: he began his career as an assistant to Nick Knight.

Greg Kadel (right, with Cameron Russel)

I love all his work for Numéro and Vogue China. Also, for the fact that he has a fine taste in models.

Mert & Marcus

Dominates W and all Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu ads. Seriously, they are dead crazy about colours yeah?

Terry Richardson (right)

ALL.THOSE.TOM.FORD.ADS.

Bruce Weber (left), Jurgen Teller (right) and Paolo Roversi

My budding photographer friend Best admires Paolo. His work with Sasha P is pure magic (remember ‘Enchanted Gardens’ and ‘Couture Memoirs’?). And don’t you think Bruce looks like the cute Santa Claus?

Hey, the photo made me smile, and apparently Brendan Fraser made Luke Ford smile as well.
Wow. I don’t think it is Alexis’ good looks that are getting the guys, so I hope he didn’t get that peen chopped off.
Ashanti - Los Angeles
There just seems like there is something off about Annette Bening. Love her, but something seems different.
Speaking of different, Jennifer Lopez goes for the Beyonce look. I think this is one of the first pap photos of Jonah Hill I have seen.
You know. I told myself I was not going to post any more photos of Heidi and Spencer, but come on. How can you pass up this shot which you know they planned in advance.
George Daniels - Chicago
Venice in late summer is incredible. Throw in Eva Herzigova and it just gets that much better.
I have come to the conclusion, that while Michael Jackson is in face a pervert, I don’t think he is as crazy as people think. I mean I think he acts that way so he can go shopping in a tuxedo jacket and pajamas. Wouldn’t we all like to do that? With him it is normal. Maria Conchita Alonso is the one who should be ashamed. Maybe she is going to act out Gladiator at home later or something.
Lee England Jr. - Chicago
Jesse Spencer in his first appearance to the photos. I think.
Jaclyn Smith at the Shear Genius party celebrating the winner. Notice I didn’t say the winner just in case you are going to try and watch the whole season on TiVo or something.

Do you think Nina Garcia signs all her letters and checks and autographs with an “N” like that? Just because I like typing in the name Nas. Sure, I type in nasty, but never got to type in Nas.
The gratuitous Olympians of the day today belong to Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh.
Where else are you going to see Matthew Modine and Angela Bassett?
Mario Lopez and his friends out and about looking for homeless people to torture.
Whether you see Rashida Jones after being away for two days or two weeks, this is the reaction you get. Didn’t realize that Rihanna was 8 feet tall. Guess she won’t be marrying Tom Cruise.
This is the best I have seen Rebecca Gayheart look in a very long time.
“I f**ked the entire crew and all they gave me was this hat.”
I think it has been like two weeks without Neil Patrick Harris in the photos. That is much too long.
It has also been forever since I had Stacy Keibler in here. Of course it has also been forever since she had a career, so I think we are even. If I only have to see Star Jones every few months I can handle it. If I had to actually live with her or something, I would probably die.
Because of the delicate condition of Samaire Armstrong, and because I am happy to see her, I will at this time refrain from commenting on what she is wearing.
Hey Rachael. I heard Oprah gets pretty pissed when you say that to her.
Rachel Leigh Cook and Alan Cumming. I wonder how many orgasm jokes he hears a day?
It’s a Zooey. And this is why Whitney Cummings doesn’t get to walk very many red carpets.
Over or Under. Valentino’s shoes $5000.
Interesting choice here. Anne Hathaway and Tim Daly. Apparently they got along very well.
Because he let her borrow his pants.

Those moments are usually punctuated with an "Oh, Shit" and a race to the TV to play Nintendo. So when an invite arrived combining our two loves - Nintendo and fashion - we kind of jumped for joy.

Nintendo DS is hosting a day spa at the Bryant Park hotel from September 9th through 11th which means people from Sephora will be on hand for hair styling, make-overs, and the best part - lash applications.

We made our appointment after Rogan but before Cynthia Rowley so we'll look refreshed at Zac Posen five hours later.

Hopefully there's lots of espresso, and maybe some Mario, on hand, too. We're exhausted already.
