“The most important part of my work is the preproduction phase, where my ideas spark,” says photographer Eli Infante to the Phoblographer in an interview. “…When I first started capturing portraits, I ignored details which often left me regretting not spending more time planning. During my preproduction phase, important things I consider are locations, colors, wardrobe, and makeup.” Once Eli has figured out all of that, he thinks about gear, the subjects, and the moment. By all means, it often makes him a much better photographer for it.
