However, in this genre of photography, creative ideas have to be based on the fashion itself, with everything else being staged around it. The particular language of the fashion brands, but also the products themselves, bring great challenges. In most cases, photographers will already have their subjects and backgrounds on location. The art of making a career in fashion photography lies in not sticking to tried and tested visual patterns. Instead, success in this genre may mean breaking the rules, finding unique perspectives and remaining open to new ideas.
Besides the fashion items themselves, a model is the essential component of a fashion shoot. You can book models through agencies but this can be expensive, particularly for a beginner. In the fashion industry, networking is worth its weight in gold. Activate your contacts and search for suitable models on social media platforms, such as Facebook groups, to find interested people to help your project. Build your portfolio with some simple tricks and learn how to stand out from the crowd.

Professional photographers usually do not concentrate on one fixed genre, but often pursue two or three styles in their work.
