Fashion Photographer Although I could not find any specific job advertisement for a fashion photographer, I found some entry-level positions in the fashion industry. A copy of these appears after the reference list. It appears that a career choice of fashion photography would be extremely rewarding in terms of the interesting situations and people the professional would come into contact with. It also appears to be a highly creative and satisfying job for a person with the right traits.

According to the "Creative Skillset" Website (2012), some colleges and universities offer courses in fashion photography, which are generally led by established photographers who act as visiting lecturers for these courses.

Fashion photographers are often employed by popular magazines like Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Allure.

Tasks that relate to the career include knowing how to operate and run a photography studio and using lighting to best present the subject of the photograph, both indoors and outdoors. The photographs should be taken in such a way that the products being advertised, whether this is jewelry,…
