How to use your Nikon D90 to create beautiful fashion photographs.

How to use your Nikon D90 to create beautiful fashion photography: It’s easy! Just point and shoot! The photographs below were taken in all natural light. With two I used a reflector for fill. I love my Nikon D90. It has gotten me out of a bind several times. When in doubt, D90. Let me explain:

I shoot a lot of fashion photographs for various assignments. Sometimes I travel internationally to places like: London, Milan, Paris, Tokyo or Sydney. I am tough on my photography equipment so I need reliable gear. When I travel I must have backup cameras with me. The D90 is my favorite by far.

Why? First, its price. The Nikon D90 is priced at a meager $900+ dollars U.S. I love the screen on the back of the D90. It is huge in comparison to most digital cameras. The D90 is a 12.3 megapixel camera and it has a high resolution 3 inch LCD display.

I love to shoot in the water. I love to shoot in tight spots. Perfect for the D90. This summer I was shooting in Athens, Rome, Milan, Santorini and London for various assignments. I was walking down a flight of stairs in Gaeta, Italy when I lost my grip on my Hasselblad. OOOpppsss! My bad. I looked to my backup cameras and immediately went for the D90. It’s just so easy to use! Here are a few pics I took that day with it.

Travel Photography – Santorini, Day 4.

Olga is still asleep in our villa. I let her have my room. It’s the best. I fell asleep outside on a hammock. We’re living like kings here. Special thanks to Eric for putting a blanket on me. There’s mosquitoes at night.

It’s 5 a.m. I have already been up for an hour. I love writing to you.

There is a cobblestone road leading up to our villa. Gas powered street lamps. The sky is blue as is the air in front of me. The kind of blue light you only find in the early morning. This island is ancient.

There are white villas on both sides of the street stretching for several blocks.

Olga is awake now. We don’t speak. It’s too early.

She is a very young girl. A teenager. Barefoot. Slim. She has the longest natural hair I have ever seen on a model. “Agencies and clients love her or hate her for it,” her agent in Athens told me. She won’t cut it. I don’t want her to.

She sits down next to me and smiles. There’s still the language barrier. I like the silence. Like a great silent film we communcate with our bodies. But not now. We’ll just sit for a couple minutes. Then we will get up and walk down to the church. The white one by the sea. We’ll take a couple pictures and see what sort of magic the day will deliver.
