They should have a case to start building their portfolio, they can even input their drawings, art, photos, etc. in it.
A good way to start a photography portfolio is by going through your pictures and deciding which ones really show off the kind of work you do. If you think something is missing, take a few more pictures before finishing the portfolio, and add them in!
A Bachelor's degree in Photography would be prefereable, as well as some electives in fashion. I would start looking into art schools which have both Fashion and Photography courses---these are a few links: http://www.saic.edu/ http://www.artinstitutes.edu http://www.academyart.edu Good luck with your search, and remember to start building your photography portfolio as soon as you can! That always helps. http://www.allartschools.com/faqs/photography-portfolio http://digital-photography-school.com/5-tips-for-building-your-photography-portfolio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8YoHkw2Dw8
For fashion photography you want to get a BA or BFA in Photography--with emphasis in fashion, portrait and/or photo journalism. You'll find these areas in top schools such as Brooks Institute, RIT or School of Visual Arts.
No job is easy to find. However, with good practice, skills, a very good portfolio, time, and support, if photography is your passion, then you will find a job.
Before you consider what online consider colleges, consider what photography degree you want. Here' a good website that'll help you in both cases: http://www.allartschools.com/art-careers/photography/photography-degree
In order to be a photographer, you don't really need any qualifications. All you really need to know is the concepts of photography and exactly what you are doing. Also its good to have an understanding in what you are photographing, for example how skateboarders do what they do. You'll need good people skills if portraiture is what you want to get into. You can get qualifications in photography but in my opinion, all you really need is the passion, and a good portfolio..
You don't need a college degree per say,but you do need a good camera and a back up one just in case and and a very good portfolio.
A good website should be clean, attractive, and easy to navigate. If you are looking to make a photography portfolio spend some time selecting the photos that you feel represent you well and reflect your skill. If you're not experienced with web design, it would be advisable to seek the help of a web designer rather than develop a site that looks poorly on you.
If you are an aspiring photographer, using a small digital camera may only get you so far in your career. You will eventually need a photography camera in order to take the pictures that you want to amaze people with in your portfolio. These are cameras that can be extremely good in certain light conditions.
"Product photography is typically used for advertisements. Ads in magazines and newspapers are the most common use of product photograpy and as such some newspapers and magazines have their own photographers specifically for product photography. If the magazine you are using does not have their own, they can usually make a recommendation. Otherwise, look in the yellow pages for Commercial Photography and be sure to ask for a portfolio before hiring your photographer."
Good majors could be biology, psychology, social sciences, or maybe oceanography. In these majors, you have a good opportunity to branch out. Hope this helps!
Totally. That business is a great photography company. Definitely a good choice.
