Fashion Photographer

A Fashion Photographer takes photos of fashion models to showcase clothing or accessories. You might specialise in a particular type of photography such as high fashion or catalogue work. Photographers work with fashion clients to discuss the style of photography they’d like and set up fashion shoots. You might edit photographic images or use creative techniques as required.

Fashion Photographers need to be up to date with fashion trends and able to work with a range of clients and models. You’ll need to be able to respond to client requests and follow a photographic brief. Fashion Photographers should be creative and skilled in capturing and manipulating photographic images.
