| Today's photography is
very sophisticated and at times even a layman can click pictures
with automatic adjustments. But at the same time, to become
a good photographer, one needs to acquires specialized skills.
Photograph has today become very lucrative career proposition. |
| |
| The Work: |
| There are several areas of photography
and success in each of them depends on the kind of ability
and skills one has in himself. For example, portrait photography
is taking pictures of individuals or small groups. The subjects
varies from pets, children, family, objects etc. |
| In commercial photography, a photographer
takes pictures of merchandise, exteriors and interiors, machinery,
both indoors and outdoors and products, tabletop pictures
which are generally used for advertising and selling purposes.
Commercial photography includes taking pictures and annual
reports. They are also often used in calendars and company
posters. |
| Fashion photography is another growing
area in India. As fashion is gradually becoming an integral
part of the society, new designers and models are constantly
churning out new portfolio and photographers are experimenting
with new themes. Often these shoots are done inside the studio
where there are proper lighting and related props. |
| No formal education is required to become
a photographer. All depends on the person's ability and an
eye for photography. But with increasing competition and opening
up of newer avenues, many private run photography schools
are mushrooming. Coupled with it, there are few government-aided
schools where photography as a vocation is being taught. But
as said earlier all depends on the person's aptitude. |
| |
| Opportunities: |
| Opportunities in the field of photography
are plenty. With the boom in the media and newer avenues of
merchandising opening up, photographers who are good at their
work are bound to do really well. Freelancing is gradually
becoming very popular amongst a large number of photographers.
Those who can withstand the pressure and challenges will always
be a winner in photography. |
| |
| Remuneration: |
| Being shutterbug can be really lucrative.
While beginners can expect to earn around Rs. 500 per day
on an assignment, established ones can make up to Rs. 60,000
or more for the same. Be warned that those in the latter category
are few and far between. |
