As an up and coming stylist, it's important to start building your portfolio by doing test shoots. Not only do test shoots let you show off your eye for style, but it will help you be able to book your own jobs down the line. The last thing you want is to intern/assist for 5 years, get asked to style a job by yourself but have no portfolio to show to the photographer/creative director. No matter how many shoots you've helped on, you absolutely can't include another stylists work in your portfolio, even if you assisted. It's their work, period. But have no fear, even if you don't live in a big city like LA or NYC, here are some ways to start building your portfolio.
