VINCENT LI, A MAGICIAN WITH A CAMERA

“I TEND TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND COMBINE ELEMENTS OF FASHION AND FANTASY TO CREATE A PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE WITH STRONG VISUAL IMPACT. WITH AN INTENSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL, I WORK TO CREATE THE PERFECT IMAGE. I'M A VISUAL PERSON AND RISK-TAKER, CONFINED ONLY BY MY DEMAND FOR PERFECTION. I RELISH THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE MY MODELS THE VERY OBJECTS OF FANTASY.” – Vincent Li, photographer.  

 Vincent Li is a perfect example of how you can create your own success. He developed his interest for photography at very young age. He really fell in love with the art at age 16, when he began taking pictures or urban landscapes, and by doing so experiencing new places. But it wasn’t until March 2008 that he started fashion photography. In order to further develop his skills in capturing people on film, he mostly used his colleagues and friends to model for him, which eventually led to his first paid assignment in June 2009: doing a photo shoot for the promotional of a night club. 

During this year of practice Vincent Li took every single opportunity to learn more about photography and editing skills and, by doing so, he developed his own unique and individual photographic style, which soon would find recognition. In October 2009 Vincent Li traveled to Marseille in the south of France to shoot the new Autumn/Winter collection of an Award winning boutique in his hometown Birmingham. This fashion work led to his first printed magazine publication in Vogue, followed one month later by The Given Magazine. Not bad for a self taught photographer.

By combining fantasy and fashion and turning them into creative images, Vincent Li has found himself a place in the universe of international fashion photography. It is Vincent’s goal to become one of the most known and appreciated photographers in the fashion industry. An ambitious goal? Yes. Still, his talent and personal style find more and more recognition and respect within the industry and it can’t be for long before we will see and hear more of Vincent Li and his works of art. –B-
