Physical Work Conditions

• Are often exposed to bright light from cameras and other photographic equipment.

Work Performance

• Must be sure that all details about their outfits are done and their work is accurate, so they get the right look for clients.
• Repeat the same physical activities, such as walking, turning, standing, or holding a pose.

Hours/Travel
