Discription of photography

• A photography job can take many different forms.
  Some photographers freelance, others run there
  own a studio or work for companies as salaried
  employees. Photographers can also further
  customize their careers by choosing to specialize
  in a certain kind of photography. From wedding
  photography to commercial photography to
  photojournalism, the possibilities are almost
  endless.

What's required

• If you can create good photos you are a
  photographer. Composition and technique are all
  that really matters, and if you don't have a good
  eye for composition, no school can give it to
  you. Lighting, focus, exposure, developing and
  touch-up are actually quite simple to learn if
  you've already picked up the basics. If you can't
  grasp the concept of "thirds", or basic group
  posing, you'll never make it. It doesn't really
  require school. You'd be better off by finding a
  photographer who needs an assistant and learning
  the craft from a master.

working conditions

• Working conditions for photographers vary
  considerably. Photographers employed in
  government and advertising studios usually work a
  5-day, 40-hour week. On the other hand, news
  photographers often work long, irregular hours
  and must be available to work on short notice.
  Many photographers work part time or on variable
  schedules. Most photographers spend only a small
  portion of their work schedule actually taking
  photographs. Their most common activities are
  editing images on a computer-if they use a
  digital camera-and looking for new business-if
  they are self-employed.

  industry.Salaried photographersmore of whom work
  full timetend to earn more than those who are
  self-employed. Because most freelance and
  portrait photographers purchase their own
  equipment, they incur considerable expense
  acquiring and maintaining cameras and
  accessories. Unlike news and commercial
  photographers, few fine arts photographers are
  successful enough to support themselves solely
  through their art.

interests and abilities

• The first successful picture was developed in
  1827 by Niépce, it took 8 hours to expose. Two
  years later Niépce joined Dageuure in a
  partnership, but he died only four years later.
  Daguerre is believed to be the "father" of
  photography, since by accident he exposed a plate
  in his chemical cupboard.
• James Clerk Maxwell began working with color in
  1860, by taking three exposures, each one with a
  different color filter (red, green, blue), and
  then projecting the three images using three
  lanterns with the corresponding filters.
• The first box camera was produced by George
  Eastman in 1886, but it was way too costly. Two
  years later, in 1888, four years after he created
  the first flexible film, the first Kodak box
  camera hit the streets. It was an instant
  success. Finally, you could have a portable
  device to take along on your trips and take
  pictures of those precious moments.
