Photography Specialties

Jason Ellis - There are quite a few Americans who believe photography is perhaps all just about taking photos; however, there are so many specialties one can get into when they go to school for photography. First, numerous schools exists for those who want to give attention to just one type of photography. As an example, a photographer can concentrate on taking just senior pictures. Below you will find a brief list of a number of the different types of photography and what kinds of jobs you'll have in each field:

1. Wedding/special event photography can be a very rewarding career. Many professionals in the field revel in having the ability to capture their clients' happy memories on camera. Most photographers on this specialty start off at a small studio, then move ahead and open their very own studio. Owning your personal studio can be a large amount of work, so some people prefer to go into a partnership with one other colleague to share the costs and responsibilities of having a studio.

2. Graduation photographs, which might or may not be separate from wedding and special events. Some photography studios are only dedicated to taking graduation photos all year-long. Taking photos of high school seniors is becoming more and more popular. Many studios offer personalized service for their clients. For example, they will shoot a variety of images be it indoors or outdoors for each outfit your client brings to the studio. A higher school student can wear jeans along with a top for an outdoor picture and wear a dressy outfit to have an indoor shoot.

3. Photographing nature can also be a very rewarding career. The initial career choice you think of is shooting photos for National Geographic, which may be a really fun thing to do all the time. A lot of travel is associated with shooting nature photos for any kind of magazine or periodical. Nature can include living animals in their natural habitat and non-living things within their natural habitat. With this track, you would usually be working for a magazine and you would travel with a journalist to whatever web site is chosen for the article.

4. Finally, one other popular direction for photographers is to shoot models for magazines and/or fashion shows. This is a very difficult field to get involved with because it is seen as probably the most glamorous. Many people would love to be involved in photo shoots with models and celebrities for one of the more popular magazines, but there's a limited number of jobs because type of industry.

Jason Ellis Photography - Contrary to public opinion, there are so many directions you can take their photography careers in once they are finished with all the schooling. Which you decide is determined by how you want to spend your career. If you want to subside, stay in one place and also have a family then maybe starting a own studio would be best for you and doing special occasions might be good for you. If you want to travel a lot and possibly not settle down around particular, then maybe the nature photography track would be best, since photography for any type of nature magazine usually requires a lot of travel.
