As an outsider, there’s something beautifully simple yet chaotic about the picture Chadwick paints of the process of a photographer. Making up for a lack of budget with sheer willpower, he’s armed with a team that’s handpicked, driven, and talented. “I believe it’s entirely normal to work 14 or16 hours a day, six days a week, and I expect that out of all of them,” he says. This team consists of makeup, hair, a photo assistant, and creative director. Styling is the only thing for which he uses different people, and it’s the biggest challenge, he says, “finding someone to pull clothes based on reputation.” Though Chadwick says he’s making more and more connections in that area, and in the meantime, being a fashion photographer is all about quick thinking and ingenuity.
