There are no "image category police." Mark them however you want...

There might not be any police but knowledge is power in this industry because the wrong answer could be the difference of getting the job or not when asked by those that need to know what it is you can do.

Please forgive my ignorance but I am a bit confused as to how to list my images. What makes them commericial? What makes them editorial? I know the what's glamour & fashion but aren't they very much alike?   

It's actually a very good question and as a stylist, you really need to know because you can't just "bring clothes". You have to match the intended shoot.

Commerical for you would mean a professionally shot production. Commerical for a photographer could mean shot at the client level not necessarly for a client but in general, a commercial photographer shoots for clients or advertisement assigments.

Fashion as Xtreme says is about clothes but that's only a small portion of what fashion is all about. First off, it's more of an attitude and it includes the accessories that you are also responsible for. The client may not want any clothing used at all and only want accessories. It includes other things too but you don't do hair and mua, etc. Also, editorial has fashion in it as well. All fashion magazines have editorial sections that do not include articles to accompany the images. So these images can fall under either fashion or editioral or many of the other catogories depending on the shot.

As a stylist, you have to get an understanding of all the categories so you can be more proficient at your job. There's nothing worst then to have clothes show up that are for fahion when it should have been for catalogue, etc.

Hope this helps oh and by the way, glamour to me is more like portrait then anything else.
