So I got to sit down with a guy who runs a modling agency here in town over the weekend (turns out we used to go to church together) and he's concidering giving me a change to join the team and do some fashion stuff for him... so I'm here just looking for some resources (other than magazines because I'm at work) to give me an idea of what I do so that I don't look like a total yutz when I go...

any ideas? thanks

Don't we all, just I seem out of step with all the other fashion dudes! When they wear baggy jeans, I wear shorts. When they wear tight jeans, I wear shorts. When they wear shorts, I wear shorts.

Look beyond what today's fashions are and look for the person who doesn't conform. That is your fashion shot!

So other than the gallery here anywhere else I might look for inspiration?

Know your market. Look at the images the agency is already using.

'fashion' can cover a wide range of things. the models (pro, working models) will know the poses. You have to know the tech end - how to light, make a background white (or shades of gray, etc). and perhaps PP, if you do any of that for them.
Like most photographic areas (wedding, port, commercial, architectural, etc) they (fashion) have their own way of doing things. They don't do 8x10s, but I think 9x11 is it.

Regardless of whether or not they know how to pose, it's still crucial to direct them. If all you're going to worry about is the technical then it's going to show.

9x12 is the standard for a book.
