Point, click and shoot your way into cool and well-paying gigs after completing photography school. We found five photography jobs to envy that you can aspire to once you finish a photography program.
1. Magazine photo shoots
Imagine your photo appearing on the cover of “Vogue” or “National Geographic,” or being involved in the infamous “Sports Illustrated” swimsuit issue. Photographers fly to exotic destinations on a daily basis, select just the right settings or go on site into the immaculate homes of some of the world’s most beautiful people, from celebrities to supermodels.
2. Global ad campaigns
The images used by designers such as Calvin Klein, cars such as Mercedes-Benz, sportswear such as Adidas and technology created by companies such as Microsoft continue to stand out in minds of consumers, partly due to the work of photographers involved in those global ad campaigns. Dramatic and sometimes provocative images are centerpieces of the campaigns, and often resonate with people who ultimately go on to buy those items.
3. Cruise ship photographer
Travel the high seas with your camera in hand, snapping shots of vacationers as they enjoy on-board excitement, as well as scenic and luxurious locales. Your photos will capture their experiences, and allow them to keep those memories with them after they return home.
4. Aerial photographer
Aim high as an aerial photographer. Governments, companies and even individuals require the work of aerial photographers, who are sometimes licensed to fly solo, or work alongside a pilot. Aerial photographers provide overviews of land, properties, cities, and states sometimes due to major disasters such as hurricanes and tornados, or to help those in the real estate and the construction industries. The shots, often time and date-stamped, can be crucial to giving people a one-of-a-kind view of what’s happening in a particular area.
5. Food photographer
Whet appetites by working as a food photographer, and your spectacular shots of ingredients, dishes and desserts could appear in magazines and books. Such photos are used to inspire professional and amateur cooks as well as are used by restaurants to entice diners. It’s an art to light, style and shoot the ingredients and delectable dishes, which can be a work of art themselves.
