Photographers tend specialize in one particular area of photography such as press and photojournalism, fashion or scientific and medical photography. Their work typically entails:
· setting up photographic equipment
· taking pictures
· editing and retouching images
· choosing and setting up locations
· reproducing and framing photographs
· promoting business (especially if self-employed)
· researching and making contacts
· general administration
The majority of their work is undertaken 'on location', so travel and irregular working hours are common features of the job.
Qualifications and training required
Photography, film, art, design or media studies degrees can be advantageous – particularly for technical skills. Alternatively, there are many part-time photography courses, such as City and Guilds and Skillset – the sector skills council for creative media, which can offer a useful starting point.
