Dandelionblack started out as a group of aspiring female photographers based in San Francisco. We had a great time exhibiting our works in the city and had created strong friendships and collaborations along the way. As many of our careers matured and branched out, a few of us find ourselves living in different parts of the world now. We'd like to come to this platform to share our experiences as way of keeping touch and keeping together, and as always for the pure love of photography.

Art Photography versus Commercial photography

My first subject for this gossip magazine was a 88 Yrs old
actress Monique Mercure.Of course they didnt choose these
shots because I like them...
Amazing lady!!





The never ending question for certain photographers right? Right...So I recently took up a new client , a french canadian of really questionnable esthetic gossip magazine... Did you know that when you shoot for certain of these publications you actually have to bring your subject through a whole array of emotions , happy faces, sad faces, angry etc...because of course you give them a ton of image options and all the rights for ever and ever but in case something happens next year, that celebrity gets sick or what not, well there!! They already have a shot for the cover so they can be ready!Interesting concept....
So there, I started to shoot for them, they are a weekly publication so lots of work but I Can't help wondering how far we are supposed to go into Photography prostitution just to be able to create art ones...
