The Life of An Intern: Press On.
 Thus far I can say this much about what I’ve learned about fashion photography, it is nothing like it looks. You have no idea what it requires just to put together one shoot, or maybe that’s just me. There are so many small details involved in the whole process and if one goes wrong it’s a near guarantee the rest will follow suit. So many schedules...

Through useful industry information given to you, to the knowledge of effective client relations, Kevin entrusts us to make all the behind-the-scenes planning come together to create a photo...

 To start, my blogging virginity has officially been lost, yay!So, I’m here to tell you a little about what a ‘normal’ day in the KMR studio is like… so… to begin…there are rarely ‘normal’ days. We go from sitting at desks researching and making calls, to setting up lights and working on shoots; painting walls, and even to destroying...
The Life of an Intern
 Three times a year we bring in three to four interns eager to learn the business of photography. The interns experience every side of the business: they chat with clients, work on set, work on marketing plans, build sets, research ideas and actually get hands on experience on running a photography studio. Some of them have no experience in photography...
