A day in the life of a fashion photographer

I’m Cody and I’m a fashion photographer. I take pictures for a magazine. I love my job because I can meet
all kinds of interesting people. Today, for example, I’m working with a famous model, and we’re shooting a
magazine cover together for the spring collection.

I don’t work in an office, I work in a studio. Sometimes I travel to different locations to take photos outside or
in different places. I don’t have to choose the clothes the models wear – the fashion company or the
magazine chooses the clothes. I just have to take the picture and make the models feel relaxed so they look
great. Sometimes I have to use Photoshop to change the picture a little bit, but I don’t have to write reports
or anything like that. I don’t have to wear a uniform, thank goodness! I can wear what I like, usually
something simple like a T-shirt and jeans.

To do this job, you have to understand fashion. Smile!

Cody has to … Cody doesn’t have to … Today Cody’s ….
