The celebrity fashion and beauty photographer gave PicsArt an exclusive interview full of advice for young photographers, as well as an anecdote on shooting <\/span>Beyonc\u00e9<\/span>\u2019s famous \u201cDangerously in Love\u201d album cover.<\/span><\/p>\n

PicsArt has many young and up-and-coming photographers. What advice do you have to them? <\/b><\/p>\n

Anyone young or old who wants to make photography a career, right now they have to deal with a lot of competition. There are so many people. I started over 25 years ago when photo equipment was expensive and in order to show your skills and practice you needed a lot of money. It was difficult, but if you were talented you could succeed as there were not as many professional photographers. Today, photo editing can be done easily, and you can get cameras for just a few hundred dollars. Nowadays, even lighting<\/a> is not as expensive. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I say it\u2019s hard to make a name for yourself, but be patient and try. Even having a name in the business won\u2019t guarantee you the next job. It\u2019s a challenge like any career as a freelance artist (like actors and filmmakers). It doesn\u2019t count what you did yesterday, but what you do tomorrow. It\u2019s not a real job like working in a bank where you get a salary and have less of a risk. Photography is an intense career. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

So work with passion, find your style and what you want. It\u2019s going to be really hard — even if it seems to be easy in the beginning–, but do it again, again and again, and don\u2019t give up or look back. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

How would you describe your process of taking a picture? <\/b><\/p>\n

First I have a vision, an idea, mood boards and a clearly defined direction. But then when I am shooting I allow a lot of improvisation. I make second decisions. My expertise is in <\/span><\/i>celebrity beauty and fashion.<\/span><\/i> It\u2019s very narrowly defined. I know how to make stars look really good and really attractive. I would say I have an intuitive approach, and that\u2019s part of the magic.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Recently I have a photo partner, Koala. Sometimes a celebrity connects more with Koala, sometime more with me, but we both shoot at the same time, talk to them and make a connection. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Can you share an anecdote from one of your shoots?<\/b><\/p>\n

I will share something very timely seeing as Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z just released their album \u201cEverything is Love\u201d. It\u2019s the 15th anniversary of Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u201cDangerously in Love,\u201d and I want to share a story about when they came to see me to shoot the album cover. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Beyonc\u00e9<\/span><\/i>\u2019s mom was styling the shoot and there was a diamond top. Her mom wanted her to wear a red carpet long skirt with it, but I thought it would look great with denim. The problem was they didn’t bring any denim jeans with them, so I said, \u201cyou can have mine!\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

So, on this iconic album cover she was wearing my men\u2019s D&G jeans. It was so nice with that diamond top, it created a great tension. <\/span><\/i>Beyonc\u00e9 <\/span><\/i>is the lead image of the exhibit and I think this is a really funny little anecdote. We created a trend and then everyone was wearing these men\u2019s jeans and sparkles. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
