It is diversified. Every project and photo shoot is different from one another.
Fashion photographers take photographs of clothes, accessories, hairstyles and make-up for advertising campaigns, catalogs and/or fashion magazines.
Every day is different. Fashion photographers can be meeting with clients, planning a shoot, shooting, editing the photographs...
The shoots take place in studios or outside. It depends on what's required for the background.
There isn't a settled path to become a Fashion photographer. Everyone creates their own way to make their work known. It can through social media, distributing pamphlets, meeting with agencies, sharing your portfolio, etc. A degree is not necessary. Photographers are judged on the quality of their work. The level of study is not taken into account.
According to Payscale.com an average base salary for a fashion photographer in Canada is C$53,428 a year.
Photography requires a lot of practice in order to master the technical knowledge of light, camera settings, lenses, film, filters, editing software and other photography equipment such as soft boxes, umbrellas, flash, etc.
The danger is to not make it. Due to the amount of competition in the field, the hardest part is to build a customer base that provides a substantial amount of work. It is rare to leave its mark in the photography industry.
Robots are not the ones to fear. They do not have the creativity and empathy that applies to the art of taking pictures. Copyright violations and the declining demand for advertising are bigger threats than robots.
There isn't an age to retire. It is up to the photographer.
In my case, I am currently trying to expand my knowledge about photography outside of school. I have been practicing photography for three years now. I participate in contests monthly.
