Working in the fashion industry is something that a lot of people have been dreaming about since they were little so you need to make yourself stand out from the crowd. The best way to do this is to completely embrace your personality and be yourself. This is an industry where you need to actually know what you're doing as opposed to simply looking like you know what you're doing. You can only wing it once you've conquered the basics and experience counts for a lot, so when someone asks you if you can help out on an underwater photoshoot, maybe don't turn up with just a bucket and spade. In order to be successful in the world of fashion, you need to be a team player. One photoshoot is an epic collaboration of professionals who are all experts in their field. Whilst there can be feelings of vulnerability as everyone's work is subjected to intense scrutiny, they all compliment one another to make perfection in the form of that one sublime shot. As most people only see the final result, they can be oblivious to the hard work and dedication that it takes every individual member of that production team to reach that goal. As always, the journey is sometimes more exciting and worthwhile than reaching the final destination because of the things that you see and learn along the way. And in the case of knowing what really goes on behind the scenes of a fashion shoot ,this couldn't be more true, as you'll learn all about what it takes to make perfection a reality instead of an expectation.
