Hi All,

Hope you are all doing great! Just wanted to share my newest Fashion spread in the Novemebr 2014 issue of ELLE Magazine with the gorgeous Vika Falileeva, ex-gymnast and major model with DNA Models in New York and Women Model Management in Paris.

If you have any question feel free to throw them my way.

Best Wishes,
Ben

Excellent work ... you photographic and business skills seem very well suited to the fashion industry. I remember one issue of Vogue or Elle (Canada) in which the profile picture of you (when they described you as a contributor) and wore a hat - possibly a fedora

Out of curiosity, I wonder how many images you take for a given project, how many would you consider to be "good", and how many are printed? Of course, studio shooting and location shooting (such as this presented series) would probably have very different number of pictures taken.

I ask this question since, for my not-so-good photographic skills, I tend to shoot a very large number of images (500-700 or more) to get what I consider to be maybe 10 to 20 decent images and maybe 5 good ones (by my standards). In my case, my skills are purely amateur and I have access only to some amateur models .. a few of which can be beautiful and/or skillful. I am curious what a successful working professional would expect in terms of results, from your perspective, working with a good team using excellent and beautiful models .

Hi how are you?

I generally do not shoot more than 80-100 images per clothing change. We edit down the images to around 2-6 selects per clothing change (per page) and of course only 1 photo is chosen for the final, unless the magazine wants a slightly different crop to enhance the layout as they did in this story where they replicated two of the looks. I never edit after the day of the shoot. I wait till the next day to clear out my head.

Only thing I think that bugs me is the really dark eye makeup. But that's probably just my tastes

What was the logic of the crop on the cover...they cropped her foot in a rather strange place IMO.
