DIFFERENT PHOTOGRAPHY CAREERS - PART 2

DIFFERENT PHOTOGRAPHY CAREERS – PART 2Still not decided on which photography career to take? Take a look at the list below to widen your options.

1. Nature Photography. It encompasses all the subjects that have to do with nature (e.g. landscapes, the various flora and fauna). Production time usually take a little longer than other fields, often requiring you to stay for long periods of time at your “set” to capture your shot. In addition, this field is usually managed by a one-man team, needing you to travel and do all the work alone.

2. Portrait Photography. Perfect for those who are looking for a freelance photography job, you will most likely be commissioned to be the “official photographer” events and parties.

Photographers in this field usually have their own studio, where people can come in and have their pictures taken. Some can be at the special events like graduation and birthday celebrations, to official pageant shots or portfolio (especially for models), to covering debutante balls and weddings.

Portrait photographers have direct contact with the end consumers, and you must be sensitive how they want the photos to look like since the subject is oftentimes personal to them.

3. Food Photography. An offshoot of Advertising and Still-Life Photography, this field requires a special set of skills in making sure food will look like it tastes great. You should have the great attention to detail in setting up the lighting and props. There should be a correct angle to make out the texture, and styling the food. One of the challenges is to keep the food looking fresh, even though it’s been laid out for hours under the camera. This is usually a team-based project, comprised of the photographer, art director, and the food stylist.
