A Photographer uses images to tell a story or record an event. He or she photographs people, landscapes, places, merchandize, events and objects using digital or film cameras and other equipments. Photographers take pictures of events, people and places. Many career options exist for photographers. Some common areas of specialization include news photography, commercial photography, scientific photography and fashion photography. A high school diploma is the minimum education needed to become a photographer, since technical skills and creativity are more important for employment than a degree. However, formal degree programs in photography are also available. The following are examples of types of photographers: Portrait photographers take pictures of individuals or groups of people and usually work in their own studios. Photographers who specialize in weddings, religious ceremonies, or school photographs may work on location. Commercial and industrial photographers take pictures of various subjects, such as buildings, models, merchandise, artifacts, and landscapes. These photographs, which frequently are taken on location, are used for a variety of purposes, including magazine covers and images to supplement analyses of engineering projects. Aerial photographers travel in planes or helicopters to capture photographs of buildings and landscapes. They often use cameras with gyrostabilizers to counteract the movement of the aircraft and ensure high-quality images. Scientific photographers focus on the accurate visual representation of subjects and therefore limit the use of image manipulation software to clarify an image. Scientific photographs record scientific or medical data or phenomena. Scientific photographers who take pictures of objects too small to be seen with the naked eye use microscopes to photograph their subjects.
