 * 7) Explain the types of photos photographers shoot (portrait, landscape, cityscape, still life, nature, rural, urban)
 * 8) They're practically portraits, but they're meant to showcase the fashion or makeup the model is wearing.
 * 9) Explain the style of work they must create in order to satisfy their client (realistic, abstract, glamour, journalistic, documentary, expressionistic, experimental)
 * 10) Fashion photography can be all sorts of styles, depending on the client. It could be glamorous, which is probably most common, experimental, or even abstract if the designer puts the model in a Lady Gaga type outfit.
 * 11) Explain the salaries they earn for their work (starting out, mid career, veteran)
 * 12) Starting out salaries can be as low as $10,000, but also as high as $22,000.
 * 13) Median salaries: Around $35,000.
 * 14) Veteran: $55,000 is average, but can be more if you work in the high fashion world, often doing shoots for Vogue or Burberry, etc.
 * 15) Explain the type or kind of schooling or other preparation they must go through
 * 16) Often, they go through art or photography school in order to acquire contacts and other knowledge, but it is not required.
 * 17) Explain the type of environment they work in (own studio, corporation, free lance from home, other)
 * 18) They could own their own studio, work for a corporation, or freelance. Sites reveal that it is a mixture of these things that make photographers the most money.
 * 19) Describe why you are interested in this specific career and what you think it would be like to do this for a living.
 * 20) I'm interested in this career because fashion is a big part of my life, and I think that what you wear portrays who you are and allows you to express yourself whether you wear preppy sweaters with khakis, or black everything every day. I think that it would be hard at first to make a living being a fashion photographer, but in the end I think it would be worth it because if you do well and become a popular photographer in the fashion industry, you could potentially meet very famous people, whether it be models or designers.
 * 21) List the names of three photographers who do this sort of work and list a link to their work or their studio.

 * 23) Melissa Rodwell: http://www.melissarodwell.com/still.php
 * 24) Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin: http://inezandvinoodh.com
 * 25) Write a proposal for your Real World Photography Assignment. What do you plan to do for the assignment? Set up a photo-shoot that mimics the career (Fashion photographer you'd shoot a fashion show, sports photographer you'd shoot a sporting event etc) or will you find a real career photographer and job shadow them and photograph them at work? Explain your plan and the 3-5 image series you plan to shoot. These must be new images shot specifically for this assignment. Can't use old stuff.
 * 26) I plan to ask some of my friends to help me with this on as models, however if no one is available, I suppose I'll use myself as the model. I'm planning on taking a few outside to see what they look like, probably not many because of the cold, but otherwise I'll set up a shoot in my house with a white or black sheet. I plan on using an old band helmet/hat thing I got at Goodwill and also a red cloak. I want to get a regal feeling in the photos, emphasizing it with dark, mysterious makeup.
