Be prepared to send a quality portfolio of your work to many magazine picture editors - but don't forget they may be getting 50 submissions a month, many from art students and mostly with top quality images taken on top quality equipment - a full frame camera is a must, a medium format (or bigger) camera is preferred - we're talking about a big investment.

Be prepared to have another job at the same time!

Google "fashion photographer"..... see the competition, discover where they trained, how they got their breaks.
Am I being silly here or dose ones camera and kit realy matter, yes I understand one needs an SLR. I just wonder how much a medium format costs as well as litting back dorps lenses and all the other kit one needs for such a venture? ( not cheap I wager)
