CORPORATE
Here you could be doing anything from styling company executives, to styling annual reports. Certain cities are known for celebrities and recording artists. Others for fashion, advertising and television commercials. But what if you live where there are no celebrities and there is no fashion? There is still plenty of business. Companies still need stylists. For styling CEOs, for product styling, uniform styling and photo styling of every description. Stylists are used to style executives in their offices, employees going about their jobs and secretaries greeting customers walking through the front door. These kinds of images fill thousands of corporate annual reports and are sent to shareholders, trade journalists and Internet publishers. Corporate styling is a little-known but highly lucrative field.
