The field of photography is vast and diverse with a wide range
of employment opportunities. Professionals include everyone
from the traditional person with a camera, to a lab or service
bureau employee, to someone working at a high-end computer
station. Skill requirements fall into two categories, visual
and technical. Visual skills include idea development,
composition, lighting, and communication. Technical skills
include practical and theoretical knowledge of cameras and other
photographic-related equipment, light sensitive materials,
processes, and digital-based imaging equipment and software. A
"photographer" may be self-employed, be a member of a small
team, or be employed by a large company. Not all courses in
this program transfer to all colleges. Students planning to
transfer should see an academic advisor or counselor before
enrolling in any course. |
