I started my internship at WWD last week and have really learned a lot! Working at different publications helps broaden your horizons and better understand different facets of the industry. I've even received some insider tips from other interns. For example, have you heard of Model Mayhem ?
It is a website dedicated to helping new photographers, make-up artists, hairstylists, models, and stylists make connections. You can create a profile and post ads to look for models, photographers, stylists, etc who are willing to work with you to create a portfolio. Some people pay, some people don't. The whole idea is to network and help each other create work to use in your portfolio. (For those of you who don't know what a portfolio is, it is a file of all your work and experience to show to potential employers on interviews)
So! If you are like me and panicking about having a job upon graduation, check out this site. Start creating your portfolio! Find models and photographers who are willing to work for little or no pay and get your name out there. It is never too early to start!
