You love fashion and want to be in the midst of celebrity events. You’re  not afraid to ask questions and know who Proenza Schouler and Badgley  Mischka are. And you want to work with all of them. You know how to get a  model to show off the clothes but can show the up-close details in a   beauty shoot. You love to collaborate while showing an independent nature when it comes to concepts for photo shoots. You admire the works of Peter  Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber, Mario Testino and David LaChapelle and know that you have the talent to be listed among them  if you could just expand your portfolio. And you understand the images  tell the story just as much as the words. You may want to keep reading.
