Introduction to Interior Styling for Photography.

Behind 99% of the all interiors images you’ll find a stylist has been involved, yet most people don’t know we exist. For those who are aware of us, we are elusive when trying to access information. An Interior Stylist role in the photographic industry is one of sourcing props, finding locations, set designing, briefing contractors, trend forecasting along with styling in front of the camera itself. During this one-day course I’ll demystify our role, explain how to get into the industry through to the process of having work published. We’ll work in teams with a photographer to create an image and you’ll learn some tricks of the trade.
