I have a few ideas about where I want to go after I finish my degree at Salford, and have three pathways in which I can go.
1. Study a Masters degree in London, whilst working freelance in London to support myself
2. Work freelance/get a full time job closer to home
3. Work freelance/get a full time job in London
Therefore, I decided to do some research into the current job market, to see what sorts of jobs were on offer at the minute.
I searched on Indeed.com for "FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER" near to my postcode and it came back with no results. I then changed the search to London and it returned this job. At £20,000 a year for three days a week in such a well recognised fashion brand, it would be an amazing job. I understand that there will be so many people going for this job, many having more experience and better portfolios than me, so I need to build my portfolio now and make myself stand out from the crowd.
I found this advertisement which at first sounded brilliant, but at second glance looks to be misleading. The title is fashion photographer as searched, however, it is a magazine asking for submissions for their future issues. I doubt any money will come off the back of this, but working for a magazine would be ideal as a permanent full time job.
Looking a bit closer to home, I saw this advertisement for an internship at a bag company in Manchester. It would be perfect for the time being as a student photographer, or something to consider in the next academic year if the position was still available. Perfect for experience and something to put on my creative CV!
