Can Brands See How Good You Are? How to Showcase Your Skills in Fashion Photography and Captivate Dream Clients

Olivia Bossert Education Fashion Photography

Don't leave your dream clients to imagine what you're capable of delivering for them. Show them. 

Are you tired of waiting for your brands and magazines to notice your potential? It's time to stop leaving them to imagine what you're capable of and start showing them. In the competitive world of fashion photography, brands and magazines won't hire based on hypothetical results – they need to see tangible proof of your skills.

Take me, for example. Three years ago, my portfolio was filled with location work, but my ambition was to work with bigger brands in London. Realising that studio work was essential to break into this market, I took matters into my own hands. Despite not being able to afford professional studio space, I transformed my living room into a makeshift studio.

Believe it or not, I even managed to get a shoot published in Harper's BAZAAR Malaysia (entirely shot in my living room!) The results were astounding – within months, clients were booking me to shoot their studio campaigns.

So, what's stopping you from achieving your dream shoots? Take a moment to reflect on what you want to be shooting and who you want to be shooting for. Identify the gaps in your portfolio and make it your mission to fill them.
