Photography Specialties

Beach Bums poster by Jason Ellis Photography - You will find 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 exist for those who want to focus on just one type of photography. For example, a photographer can focus on taking just senior pictures. Below you will find a brief list of some of the different types of photography along with 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 proceed and open their own studio. Owning your own personal studio can be a great deal of work, so some individuals prefer to go into a partnership with an added colleague to share the expenses and responsibilities of running a studio.

2. Graduation photographs, which might or may not be outside of wedding and special events. Some photography studios are just dedicated to taking graduation photos all year-long. Taking photos of high school seniors has become more and more popular. Many studios offer personalized service for his or her clients. For example, they are going to 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 plus a top for an outdoor picture and wear a dressy outfit to have an indoor shoot.

3. Photographing nature is yet another very rewarding career. The very first career choice you think of is shooting photos for National Geographic, which will be a really fun move to make all the time. A lot of travel is involved with shooting nature photos for all kinds of magazine or periodical. Nature range from living animals in their natural habitat and non-living things in their natural habitat. With this track, you would usually work for a magazine and also you would travel with a journalist to whatever site is chosen for the article.

4. Finally, one other popular direction for photographers is always to shoot models for magazines and/or fashion shows. This can be a very difficult field to find yourself in because it is seen as the most glamorous. Many people sooo want to be involved in photo shoots with models and celebrities for starters of the more popular magazines, but there is a limited number of jobs in that type of industry.

Jason Ellis Photography - Contrary to everyday opinion, there are so many directions it's possible to take their photography careers in when they are finished with all the schooling. Which you decide is determined by how you want to spend your career. If you want to settle down, stay in one place this will let you family then maybe starting your own studio would be better for you and doing special attractions might be good for you. If you want to travel a lot and possibly not settle down any place in particular, then maybe the character photography track would be best, since photography for almost any type of nature magazine usually requires a lot of travel.
