Kane Skennar

This is a fashion photographer that I think incorporates a little bit of over exposure to make his backgrounds seem brighter than they really are. I think that also shows that he knows how to use his camera, take control of his surroundings, and great attention to detail. I add in detail because you can see the garments and clothing even though parts of his background is totally flushed out.
