Mass Communication

Hi!
Not all fashion photographers travel the world. It is only possible when you have established yourself well in the industry and you are in demand. Big fashion houses do hire their personal photographers and that might give you a chance to travel the world if and when they have an international show/shoot. It is all about your popularity and how you market your talent in the industry. For a successful fashion photographer, only the sky is the limit in terms of payments, glamour, fame and an international, luxurious lifestyle. The path to that success, however, is not an easy and smooth one. Every fashion photographer has to face lots of financial hurdles and career insecurities which you must be aware of beforehand. The starting, for any fashion photographer, will always be of a lower profile. However if you possess certain soft skills like creativity, ability for adaptation of rapid technology changes, and skill to run a business, you are more likely to succeed sooner. The formula of income prospects for fashion photography career in India is quite simple: the better you develop yourself as a skilled fashion photographer, the more you earn. In the simplest words, the incomes vary from person to person as they depend on the skills and calibers of the individual fashion photographers. Typically, if you find an employment with fashion houses or advertisement agencies at the beginning of your career, you can expect a monthly income somewhat between 9,000 and 15,000 Rupees. Nevertheless, freelance fashion photographers, if they make good reputations and manage to get clients on a regular basis, can earn that in a single day. More establishment means more income in the profession of fashion photography in India.

Hi Ritirupa,
Mass Comm. & Journalism would open up lot of opportunities for you, provided you have interest in them. There is the obvious one, entering journalism in any print or electronic media. It does't always have to be as a reporter or anchor, but can be any other back end or front end jobs in media. Then there is advertising, Public Relations, Film-making, Photography, Cinematography, content writer an so on. The possibilities are endless as communication is the base of everything. You will have to make up your mind as to which way you want to go. Coming to the second part of your question, completing your graduation in Mass Comm and Journalism might not be of any extra assistance in bank exams. You do have to be graduate to apply for bank jobs, so yes you will be eligible for selection, that is after you clear the bank exam.
Hope this helps!
