- Another thing that is necessary to learn is how to work with models. To do practice, you could start with searching to find out some models in your region who are ready to be photographed. After gaining enough experience and collecting some good photos, you can call modeling agencies to ask for working there as a fashion photographer- you may do the job for free or get paid during the process.
- Next step is to find out which magazine or company is your type.by searching and looking through their styles and trying to shoot as well as them, you will become ready to submit your photos to these magazines, and hopefully get the job.
- Try to keep in touch with people in the industry and build up your network; from fashion photographers, fashion designers, makeup artists, hairstylists, magazines, to photo editors.

- After achieving your style, it is time to collect proper accessories and equipment like some lenses (depending on your taste there are plenty of them out there), some lighting tools and accessories (it is time to work in studio or combine artificial light with the natural one).
