the Teen Vogue Handbook: An Insider's Guise to Careers in Fashion is my latest investment. There comes a time in ones life when you think to yourself "what do I want to be. Like actually, what could I see myself doing for the rest of life", and for me its been photography or fashion editorial/journalism for the last couple of years. Not just a phase, as my mother would say.
The following is from the book, a quote from famed fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier, who has worked for Vogue and Vanity Fair, Diana Princess of Wales to Britney Spears, and on campaigns for Dior, Chanel, L'Oreal, and Louis Vuitton.
"Take Pictures all the time.
Dont worry if you take a bad photograph;
you learn more by taking a bad picture than a good one.
If you don't like it,
study it and figure out why you don't like it.
You'll learn from your mistake"
I plan to use that advice Mr Demarchelier on my upcoming trip to Europe :)
Au Revoir
