Lasting a week at a time, trips such as these are crucial for students studying Fashion Communication, they're able to put their skills into practise and use the opportunity to develop industry-standard portfolios.

Each evening the students would spend their time retouching their images and posting to their personal social media sites in the hopes of being re-posted by magazines or the celebrities and bloggers themselves.

Megan Hughes-Jenkins, a second year Fashion Communication student was thrilled when fashion and lifestyle blogger IntheFrow reposted her image to her Instagram page that boasts a huge 828,000 followers. She explained that during the trip she chose to focus on street style fashion photography specifically.
