Does anybody know what equipment and software fashion photographers use? Similar to David LaChapelle's work?

Im interested in fashion photography, so anything you guys know can you share with me

Fashion photographers will most likely use just serious studio cameras: a Hasselblad or Mamiya with a digital back. Serious photographers will always use fixed lenses (or prime lenses). This means that they have no zoom. This also means that the lenses are incredibly sharp, fast, and free of distortion.

Most of what you see will be coming from extensive Photoshop work. Everything from simply adjusting the levels of the color channels to smoothing skin to removing blemishes to lengthening necks and evening out eyes will be done here.

The real quality in photography comes in landscape photos. One uses a large format field film camera (like a Tachihara or Horseman) that can be adjusted in numerous ways to achieve maximum sharpness. The negatives produced from these cameras are 4" x 5" to 8" by 10" and yes, that is in inches. That means that the negatives will be the size of good-size prints from your digiral camera. The digital equivalent of 4" x 5" scanned decently is roughly 500 megapixels.

Here's a great link to check out about large format photography, and one about film vs. digital.
