How can I become a fashion photographer for Vogue magazine, or hopefully Vogue Italia?

Question

I am 14, and I've finally found that fashion photography is something I'm passionate about, and the only career I want is in fashion photography. I want to work for Vogue magazine, particularly if possible Vogue Italia, what should I do? And can I get into a good fashion/photography school without having a scholarship? Also, will I have to move to New York to go to school, even though I'm American and plan ultimately to work for Vogue Italia? I just want to know everything that I must do in order to become a well-paid professional fashion photographer.

And I must say that I am an African American male, and I must admit that I am worried that perhaps because of racism, I might not get the job in the U.S. or in Italy. Should I be worried, or does talent overshine race in these situations?

And one more silly thing...If I do Vogue Italia, will I get paid in American of Italian currency?

Answer 1

First off, get the racism crap out of your head. If you're good enough, they truly don't care what color your skin is. If you go through life with that chip on your shoulder, you're going to cut yourself out of a lot of opportunities.

You can get into almost any school you want without a scholarship, as long as you've got the money to pay for it.

Will you have to move to NY? Better than that, New York Institute of Photography (NYIP) is a home based photo school with course from basic "which end do I point at the subject" to a fully professional level. The only one that can get you a job with Vogue, or lose it, is you. You need to develope skills and the vision to capture images that the magazine wants to use. The trick is to make your images stand out above all the others that have wanted to be in their magazine since they were 14. To do this you're going to need to learn everything you can and practice constantly to get good enough. Good luck, I hope to see your work there some day.

You can be like the masses of humanity and buy a camera you can afford that has auto this and that for worry free picture taking. And learn through trial and error how to use something like aperture or shutter priority auto modes or even attempt to use the thing on full manual mode.

You seem to know already there is some thinking to using a camera and to take pictures. A good place to start is by reading the owners manual that comes with a camera. Read the information and look at the illustrations with part names and look at the real camera. Handle the camera and take pictures. Let me rephrase that. Take pictures to learn how to use the camera and maybe even to keep some. Don't start with important stuff you cannot photograph over again such as birthdays, a toddlers first steps. That puts picture taking out of the learning phase and puts the pressure and emphasis to taking pictures for real and to keep.

These first pictures are for you to learn how to use your camera. And you have learned how to use your camera when you can take pictures with it and can teach others how to use it. Honest. You can also go to a college in your area and take a beginning photography course. There you will be taught the basics even a pro must learn and do in their work. Camera handling and use, taking exposures with film and/or digital cameras, and maybe even some photo assignments to get some real time learning. In this learning do not take serious pictures you must keep as that detracts from the learning aspect of the class. Do so only if you have mastered the use of your camera before class is over.

It's like growing up in a way. And I am happy you know there is a way to learn how to use a camera and take pictures. It's like learning how to drive I suppose. Someone can teach you or you can get taught at a driving school. Both will get you a drivers liscense. One though will really teach you the fundamentals you can use for the rest of your driving career.
