FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA
LA Firm Inc. will remind you about fashion on the
highest scale. I’ll introduce to you an editorial spread
that will knock your socks off. This is my mountain
and I stand on top. Nina Misaic and model Merima
Ramadanovic absolutely executed the perfect spread.
Perfection is a risky word to use, but I dare. As artists
and editors, we want a selection of images to be used.
And getting this submission, I felt was perfect because
of the array of color, darkness, scenery, and more. I
didn’t see anything missing, and I came close to using
everything sent within the submission. This submission is exemplary. I truly appreciate the time this staff
took to reach out to give us this story. Fashion photographer Nina Misaic, the world is yours.

How important is it to focus on the details of single images to produce

quality material?
I was born detail oriented. And when it comes to a passion of mine, such
as photography, the details are what drive me to the finished product.The little things are what make the larger picture. Me and my team
brainstorm plan and try to execute everything possible to the T. I love
the fact that we are so like minded in the way that all we care about is
how great the end product will be viewed as we take care of each objective to create great works of art.
What made you want to become a photographer?
At first, I used to hate photography. But thanks to my rib, the love of
my life, my fiancé, Jashelle Henry encouraged me to try photography.
I’m a graphic artist generally, started from drawing and sketching. Few
years into the relationship, she was modeling in publications such as
Blackmens and doing independent gigs. As to help promote her I would do
her graphics and then she asked if I could take photos of her since I
could edit fairly well at the time. That’s how it all started.
What do you focus on mostly?
This could be answered in my mind in so many different ways. But what
I truly focus on overall is my ability to be able to shoot great shots
that will gain me recognition to be able to establish myself on the commercial stage. From the equipment that I use, to the personnel that I
associate with, I try to submerge myself in my craft.
Have you had any formal training in this and if so where?
No. I learned from user manuals, blogs, behind the scenes footage from
other incredible photographers and from the best teacher anyone can
The hardest and best moment was when I’ve faces myself

there is always something to learn. I don’t dive too much into this subject because some become offended as if you’re judging their work ethic
or skill set. I’ll leave it at this. If photographers didn’t get to meet
and mingle with gorgeous women, celebrities, athletes or persons of importance, would you still call yourself a photographer. Could you look
yourself in the mirror and say I love what I do… I believe very quickly,
they’ll be a lot less photographers in the world that call themselves
professionals. My two scents.
