Photographers




My last post was about news photographers or photojournalists. Taking pictures with a 35 mm camera is another type of photographer. Maybe you have a natural talent that was developed as a child or you took a class in college. Photography is a talent that everyone does not have. I can take photographs but friend Tracy Stokes could take works of art. This was a hobby he developed early on which later came to be an asset in his career. He had an eye for seeing a beautiful background in an ordinary surrounding. As a journalist he got the opportunity to take photographs of the celebrities during the inauguration. There are many industry positions that need a photographer. On the set of movies, a photographer is needed to take still shots of the scene. A state may have a photographer position to capture the beauty of state. Military installations need photographers to document combat situations.  Photography is an excellent way to make money on the side. Use your photographic eye to find beauty and a lucrative career. Here are a few opportunites:
