Even though I shoot some of the most beautiful women in the world, I will always be looking for that one special girl with that little something extra! MM EDU: As a photographer, what is your greatest weakness?ĪF: My greatest weakness as a photographer is always looking for the next great model. He evaluates portfolios from our attendees and looks for potential new photographers who have what it takes to become the new shining star.

One of the best way to become a Playboy photographer is to come and meet Gary Cole, Playboy’s director of photography of over 35 years in our seminar/workshop. I never thought for a minute about shooting for Playboy, but I sure did after he suggested it! I interned for six weeks, made some connections, and was shooting for Playboy within a year. It was there that my instructor saw my potential and suggested a work-study at Playboy. By having this knowledge, it allows you to be more creative and flexible. I felt then, and I still do today, that a photographer should have a complete understanding of his or her craft. I decided to go to a very technical photo school, Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California, to learn the mechanics of photography. Well, after that one shoot, I realized that I wanted to photograph women. Then I met a girl and asked if she wanted to do a model shoot. I started shooting street people, documentary-style. I soon realized that I loved photography more than painting, and I was pretty good at it. MM EDU: How did you become a Playboy photographer?Īrny Freytag: I started out in art school studying painting and drawing, and took photography as a minor subject. Recently Freytag answered some of our questions about his career and his craft. Several years ago, he joined forces with fellow Playboy photographers Jarmo Pohjaniemi and David Mecey to form Shoot the Centerfold, an educational project to share their collective expertise through seminars and multimedia aids.

He currently holds the world record for most Playboy Centerfolds shot. Photographer Arny Freytag has shot for Playboy for over 35 years.
