I saw an interesting review on this Toronto fashion photographer during the show "Behind the lens" on Fashion Television yesterday:

In a certain way looks like everyone is copying everyone elses style...

of course! in fashion, there are trends and the editors want to have their magazine follow them!

Taking fashion pictures in open daylight , I think this is the absolute hardest thing to do properly. I just don't find that things like grass, blue skys, trees and water fit that well. It doesn't take long and the clothes are lost...
I'm also thinking of 2 series done in Montreal by two well know photographers.
One was with Cypress as a backdrop and slightly burnt grass and the other at Saint Anne de Bellevue next to the water and that "train bridge".

I guess the girl in the white below stands out but the previous threee don't..

Yes, I agree with you. However, even if the first three don't stand out, they are soft and convey a nice mood, which I like. I would be curious to see how they look printed in a magazine. Remember that web images need much more punch than magazine prints.
