The world of modelling is rather a diverse place, and to make it all happen there has to be other people working with models and photographers to achieve that elusive perfect shot. This allows for many other careers in the modelling industry aside from models and photographers.

The amount of administration and organisation involved in setting up and photo shoot or even a catwalk show in incredible and these events only come together thanks to the hard work of teams of many individuals.

Other careers in the modelling industry include the many personal assistants, model bookers and event organisers who work closely together to create the smallest photo shoot to a large scale catwalk event. These are some of the other careers in the modelling industry that are open to all people, although an interest in the modelling industry is always a plus. Locations are also essential for any photo shoot or event, and working as a locations manager is hard but rewarding work, and allows you to travel to some of the most stunning places in the world.

Working with model agents can present very rewarding careers, with many opportunities to travel the work and enjoy a client's hospitality, as well as working with some of the best photographers and creatives in the industry, not to mention the models themselves.Other careers in the modelling industry also feature a strong team of creatives that develop both the look of the model and the location or set to help photographers create a truly stunning image. Three careers fall into the creatives category; Hair Stylists, Make Up Artists and Stylists.

A hair stylist is often an very creative and talented expert in hair, with many years of experience in all kinds of hair styling. Hair Stylists can specialise in a particular area for example working as an expert colourist or have particular skills with Afro-Caribbean hair. Some Hair Stylists may also concentrate on more natural styles whilst others are skilled with extravagant hair art. Working as a hair stylist in the modelling industry offers superb careers options, which combines long hours with travel around the world with models and photographers along with a very fair wage.

The level or artistic license given to the stylist depends on many factors, one being the ideas that the photographers have about the shoot. Many will hand the reigns over to the hair stylist and allow them to create their most stunning designs. Either way, careers as hair stylists in the modelling industry are highly sought after and are enjoyed by the best in their field.Similarly, those choosing careers as Make Up Artists work along side hair stylists to create a range of looks for every model they work with.

Like Hair Stylists, Make Up Artists may have the freedom to create the look as they wish, which many other careers do not offer, but may also be directed by photographers and other creatives in order to create the perfect look. This is one of the top careers in the modelling industry and also enjoys the global travel if you are at the top of your game.

A stylist is on of the many careers in the modelling industry, working closely with the other creatives to set both the scene and models appearance for a photo shoot. Stylists can either work solely on the models clothing and appearance or with the set too, creating the perfect environment for a photo shoot. Stylists are very creative people with a natural flair for fashion, and maintain this by keeping a close eye on the latest fashions throughout the world; and not just in clothing but in design as a whole.
