Photography Specialties

Jason Ellis Photography - There are quite a few Americans who believe photography is 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 specialize in taking just senior pictures. Below there is also a brief list of a number of the different types of photography along with what kinds of jobs you could have in each field:

1. Wedding/special event photography could be a very rewarding career. Many experts revel in having the ability to capture their clients' happy memories on camera. Most photographers within this specialty start off at a small studio, then move on and open their particular studio. Owning your personal studio can be a lot of work, so some individuals prefer to go into a partnership with an added colleague to share the expenses and responsibilities of owning a studio.

2. Graduation photographs, which may or may not be apart from wedding and special attractions. Some photography studios are simply dedicated to taking graduation photos all year-long. Taking pictures of high school seniors has become more and more popular. Many studios offer personalized service for clients. For example, they are going to shoot a variety of images whether it is indoors or outdoors for each outfit the customer brings to the studio. A high school student can wear jeans and a top for an outdoor picture and wear a dressy outfit to have an indoor shoot.

3. Photographing nature also is a very rewarding career. The initial career choice that comes to mind is shooting photos for National Geographic, which will 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 within their natural habitat and non-living things in their natural habitat. With this track, you would usually be working for a magazine and you also would travel with a journalist to whatever website is chosen for the article.

4. Finally, one other 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 the most glamorous. Many people would love to be involved in photo shoots with models and celebrities for starters of the more popular magazines, but there's a limited number of jobs in that type of industry.

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