The most general description of a photographer's
job is to take photos of people, places, and
things, but photographers may hone their titles
down to a specific kind of photographer event
photographer, wedding photographer, travel
photographer, and so on. Photography within those
divisions requires different skill sets,
processes, and job details that make the job a
versatile one with many opportunities for growth
and creativity. No matter what the subject of the
photo is, however, photographers must capture the
image clearly, often in a fast-paced or high
stress setting that can make obtaining the best
image quite difficult.

  • Wedding photographers are hired to document not
    only the wedding ceremony and reception, but also
    the events leading up to the wedding. Most
    wedding photographers make it a point to follow
    the bride as closely as possible throughout the
    day, as she is typically the focal point of a
    wedding he must also take pictures of guests,
    decorations, and other memorable aspects of the
    day. Wedding photography is a fast-paced and high
    stress form of photography that offers few second
    chances if a photographer misses a shot, he does
    not get to rebuild the scene and try again.

Some photographers travel the world, taking
location shots and landscapes. Such photographers
often sell their work to magazines and websites,
and a photojournalist may use the photos to
accompany a story, editorial, or other type of
article. Travel photography requires a
significant amount of traveling, and work is
difficult to obtain unless the photographer is
very experienced and has a strong reputation in
the industry. Such photography may require the
individual to travel to hostile environments to
chronicle wars, political strife, or social
decay it can also bring the individual to exotic
places that are beautiful or remote.

  • Portrait photography is another popular job for
    photographers. Such shooting is usually done in a
    studio or in other carefully selected locations.
    It involves the use of a significant amount of
    expensive equipment, including backdrops, light
    stands, lights, and even make up artists or other
    assistants. Photographers in this business may
    concentrate on high school senior photos, family
    portraits, or baby photos. Glamour photography is
    a type of portrait photography that focuses on
    fashion and modeling such photos are usually
    sold to magazines or to fashion companies
    building an ad campaign. Glamour photography is
    the most challenging type of portrait photography.
