Question: W: Very simple. Take digital photos of youth culture and send them to my company. It's called Look-Look. M: What kind of company is it? W: It's a youth culture marketing and trend forecasting firm in Hollywood. I'm one of Look-Look's 65,000 trendspotters worldwide. M: Look-Look gets a lot of information about the ever-shifting tastes of the youth market by these images. W: Yes, its clients are mostly companies. They get information about trends from Look-Look and develop their products. They also use the images of Look-Look on their websites to impress young people and promote their newly designed products. M: But are there any people who don't like their pictures to be used on the website? W: I always have my subjects' permission before I take their pictures and put up their images onto Look-Look.com. M: Where do you find your best subjects? W: At school, in the park, at local supermarkets and near many music clubs. M: What is difficult about this job? W: To catch our original styles because so many young people try hard to stand out.
