Photographers

-PHOTOGRAPHERS- Bruce Weber-

Interview with Bruce Weber-

How did you first become interested in photography?

B.W. I was a lonely kid growing up in a farm town. My parents traveled a lot and I didn't play any sports. So I began to use photography as a means to communicate with other people.

As one of the world's top talents, what tips do you have for aspiring photographers?

Well, I read a lot of books. I believe that words open your world and help you see each day as if you've never seen anything before.

Do you feel that it's important for a young photographer to go to art school?

Yes. Meet with your teachers and feel comfortable enough with them that you can show the worst photograph you've ever took. You will learn something from those experiences.

Of the shoot's you've done with Teen Vogue, which one stands out as your favorite?

Kristen Stewart from the March 2007 issue. I shot her before twilight, and at that point she hardly ever wore dresses. But she trusted me enough to do so for the pictures. We just had a good time together being friends. I hope the photos show that happening.



Mario Testino Mario has become the most sought-after photographer for all celebrities, this includes Hollywood brightest stars, and even British's royal family. He has been a fashion photographer for over three decades. Testino's favorite shoot was with Kate Bosworth in 2003, which was actually his first shoot for Teen Vogue.
