Photography+in+the+real+world+Cotterell

My career in photography I would choose to do would be fashion photography. Ever since I watched the show The Hills, Heidi Montage and Lauren Concard had really got my interested in being in the fashion industry and it was be perfect with being in photography too. Fashion photographers work in busy studios that are usually personal studios and sometimes provided by the employer. They take portraits of people wearing accessories or clothes, or straight pictures if them. To satisfy their client or employer, the photograph must be what the person of the item wants. The photographer must portray a certain mood or life style while wearing the item that the purchaser wants. That can be done by lighting, scenery, and having extensive knowledge of present and past fashion history. Usually from the beginning fashion photographers start off as no pay interns. Later on average photographers make around 30,000 dollars a year but fashion photographers in New York at the height of their career make around 74,000 dollars a year. The schooling and preparation you must do to become a well known fashion photographer is quite extensive. You need to have gone to a fashion college, have extensive knowledge of whats in fashion, past and present. Have had some sort of internship and another benefit would be to be apart of the AOP or BIPP. They must also be able to know how properly use camera equipment and be able to lift and carry it around. I think this would be such an amazing experience. Meeting so many new people and being part of the fashion industry by moving the world forward with new ideas. Specifically in fashion photography I would like to do hand photography because I'm really high maintenance with my hands. Good moisturizing, perfectly polished nails, and I love rings. For my real world assignment. I am going to have a mini photo shoot using different hand positions, featuring different rings and nail polish colors. That's one series will be rings, next rings, and last series I will use black and white photography for more of a scenic old look.
