High fashion photography is the most avant-garde of all types of these images. These shoots usually involve supermodels or glitterati celebrities. They are generally highly stylized, with crazy poses and over the top outfits designed to grab anyone’s attention. Every element of the composition is chosen for maximum impact, from the location to the makeup and hair design.

These types of images are usually used in single-page magazine advertising or billboard campaigns. The purpose is to grab attention, so commercial models and exotic looking backgrounds are the subjects.
