I'm not sure if it's on at your end of the pond yet..

..but there's a show on MTV here right now called "America's Next Greatest Model."

It's about as cerebral and enjoyable as you'd expect for such a show, so I mention it only as it heavily features fashion and style photographers. The show goes into detail about fashion shoots - everything from make-up through to post-processing and presentation.

Tonight's (for example) featured a really in-depth look to a photographer who was using a medium-format scanback, which was pretty fascinating.

So if you can all stand to have a few brain cells die, it's worth a watch.

I watch America's Next Top Model just for the photos... I swear! Their shoots are always so big and cool. I'll have to keep an eye out for this. Thanks!

Is that the Tyra Banks thing?

I buy "Playboy" for lighting technique hints:-)

Thanks for the warning Mark

Good lessons of lighting are old BW movies. They had to be very precise, because their films didn't have big exposure range.
