Photography+in+the+Real+World-Condon



Most fashion photographers shoot portrait photos, with abstract and glamorous styles. Fashion Photographers living in New York City make an average of $74,000 dollars a year during their career. It is not required but highly recommended to get an education in college specializing in photography (and a high school diploma). Internships and assisting photographers are great ways to learn more about the profession and get more involved in the fashion industry. Being an assistant and being able to interact with models, stylists, and photographers is extremely beneficial. Most fashion photographers work in their own studios or travel to sets. I'm interested in this career because it seems very exciting and fun. I also love fashion and love the photography in fashion magazines. To do this for a living would be fulfilling, but also stressful. Thinking creatively on a day to day basis would be hard. It would also be hard to become a more popular photographer to make more money...Three well known fashion photographers were Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, and Ellen Von Unwerth.
