For the last week, I have been doing a work experience placement at this place called, A & R photographic, which is an agency, which represents stylists and photographers. I enjoyed myself loaadds, and learnt loads about a different side of the fashion industry, and how everything actually comes together.
There is so much of certain parts of the industry that you see, e.g design, celebrity, shows and magazines, it is all very glamorous and exciting, but there is also a whole process and group of people who make that possible. From the person booking, venues or models, to the photographers, stylists and digies on shoots, even just the couriers, who take portfolios from one destination to another make it possible to have fashion the way we like.
Even though most of my day, I was changing acetates on portfolios, ordering bikes or scanning and stripping editorials, I enjoyed myself, and was fascinated to watch the girls work and eventually produce and end product. They also amazingly got me on some shoots, which where another eye opener, everybody works so hard and take barely any credit for it.
I think I am probably rambling a bit, but I have just seen another side to the fashion industry which was inspiring, informative and interesting, and has kind of re sparked an interest in a totally different way, to new things.
Anyway, on Monday I start at another placement for YOU magazine, which I am super excited about.
