Production and studio work involves managing and coordinating the many moving parts that bring visual campaigns, fashion shoots, and shows to life. Production teams are responsible for everything from booking models and locations to organising equipment, schedules, and budgets. They work closely with stylists, photographers, and creative directors to make sure the shoot or event runs smoothly and stays true to the creative vision. This behind-the-scenes work blends creativity with planning, production roles offer exciting opportunities across fashion, film, editorial, and advertising.
In studio production settings, professionals prepare garments, assist with casting, and ensure every shoot element is ready to go. On set, producers coordinate timelines, manage teams, problem-solve in real-time, and maintain communication between departments. Strong organisation, attention to detail, and teamwork are essential skills in this field. Entry-level roles often involve supporting logistics, administration, or the studio environment, with progression leading to roles like Production Manager or Producer.
