Average pay

Photographers capture, produce and preserve photos, pictures and imagery, both commercial and private that fill a vision, tell a story, or record an event in history. Photographers are apt to create photographs that capture interest much like any other form of art. High quality photography is likewise highly sought after and requires a blend of technical knowledge and creative thought that can only be tought to a certain degree.

Photographers need a technical knowledge of lighting, props, subjects, equipment, colors, digital photos and film. Photographers often use different lenses and filters to create blurs, different aspect ratios, and other effects. Photographers are also well skilled with computers as technology takes a larger and larger role in capturing, editing, and storing images.
