JOB ROLE MODULE- FASHION STYLIST/PHOTOGRAPHER

Part of my next assignment for my contemporary fashion module, is to choose one job role within the fashion industry, researching into the skills, training and purpose of the profession. I am torn between two different job roles; Fashion Stylist and a Fashion Photographer . I have always had an interest in fashion styling, particularly editorial fashion styling. I love the way you can express emotions and personality through fashion and create many versatile looks. 
I began looking into a variety of fashion stylists and there work, to give me an idea of the different variations of fashion stylists. 

   I firstly looked at New York based stylist 'Karl Templer' who is the creative director of Interview magazine and has internationally appeared in high fashion publications such as Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris,W and Love magazine.Above and below are some images showcasing Karl's styling work. 
Moving onto Fashion Photography, Craig Mcdean is a high fashion photographer. He was originally born in Middlewich, but is now based in New York. Craig often collaborates with Karl creating high fashion publications. I was most surprised and fascinated to find out that Craig had studied photography at Mid Cheshire College, which is where I studied while studying for my Fashion Diploma qualification.
After finding out this information I feel inspired and motivated to work hard and never give up, as for someone now so successful and well known within the high fashion industry started off attending a small college in Cheshire, just shows you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it!
