Career overview

Sinclair began her photography journey as a darkroom and studio assistant for a photographer. She then worked as a studio & studio assistant for a different photographer where she learnt many skills in the office and how to run a business, about shoot production, hiring assistants, booking shoots and many other things. She was also an Intern at InStyle Magazine, being someone who wanted to be a photographer she did not understand the different roles at a magazine company. Being an intern, she was able to understand how things worked on the magazine side of things once images get sent to them, how they chose photographers and better understood the layout of a magazine and what they would expect from a photographer on a shoot.

​

Whilst working at the magazine Sinclair was introduced to a photographer who was working at catwalk shows. She received photography training from her, teaching her all the different roles such as photo editing. She travelled to different catwalk shows around the world as her editor. Being part of this photographer’s team primarily as an editor Sinclair then progressed further and became front row seat photographer and street style, candid, documentary photographs at the catwalks shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris. It was through this photographer that Sinclair was introduced to the fashion industry.

​

Through this Sinclair was able to work alongside other photographers which does not happen much as a photographer who might work in a studio. She worked alongside the catwalk photographers, backstage photographers and celebrity photographers which gave Sinclair a great opportunity to learn more aspects of photography from them.
