Photography Specialties

Beach Bums poster by Jason Ellis Photography - You can find quite a few Americans who believe photography is all just about taking photos; however, there are many specialties one can get into should they go to school for photography. First, numerous schools exist for those who want to concentrate on just one type of photography. As an example, a photographer can focus on taking just senior pictures. Below you'll find a brief list of a few 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 in this specialty start off in a small studio, then move ahead and open their particular studio. Owning your personal studio can be a great deal of work, so many people prefer to go into a partnership with an added colleague to share the costs and responsibilities of owning a studio.

2. Graduation photographs, which might or may not be outside of wedding and special occasions. Some photography studios are only dedicated to taking graduation photos all year-long. Taking pictures of high school seniors is now more and more popular. Many studios offer personalized service for their clients. For example, they are going to shoot a variety of images whether it's indoors or outdoors for each outfit your client brings to the studio. A top school student can wear jeans along with a top for an outdoor picture and wear a dressy outfit for 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 would be a really fun move to make all the time. A lot of travel is associated with shooting nature photos for all kinds of magazine or periodical. Nature range from living animals within their natural habitat and non-living things inside their natural habitat. With this track, you would usually work for a magazine and you would travel with a journalist to whatever web site is chosen for the article.

4. Finally, one other direction for photographers is to shoot models for magazines and/or fashion shows. This can be a very difficult field to get involved with because it is seen as 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 is a limited number of jobs in that type of industry.

Which you decide will depend on how you want to spend your career. If you want to settle down, stay in one place and have a family then maybe starting a own studio would be better for you and doing special attractions might be good for you. If you want to travel a lot and maybe not settle down around particular, then maybe the character photography track might be best, since photography for just about any type of nature magazine usually needs a lot of travel.
