My job in creative and media
Today we had a presentation about all the different jobs in the creative and media industry. I found that there are a wide variety of jobs there and there may be a job here for me to in photography.
School
At first I just wanted to be a photographer but then I found out there were different types of photography and now I would like to be a fashion photographer. I would like to take beautiful pictures of people and be on the front of magazines. But first I need to check my qualifications. For most schools I would need these qualifications to study photography:
- 5 GCSE (A-C)
- 2 A levels/4AS levels
- Portfolio
After school…
However going to school seems to be the easy part in making it into fashion photography, as after school you have to grow up real fast and find away to create a reputation for yourself as most people wont hire you unless you’ve been recommended. It is said that a portfolio is essential and you could also try to get your name out there by putting your pictures on a web site. It would also be quite good if you already have some contacts in that industry already, so social networking is essential.
There are many ways to break into the industry, for example you can:
- Freelance (without an agent
- Freelance with an agent
- Be employed by a retailer
- Be employed by a publication (magazine etc)
- Be employed by a fashion house
- Be employed by a advertising company
- Be employed by a advertising company
- Be employed by a fashion manufacturer
- Be employed by a direct mail company
- Open your own studio
