Photography, whether professional or amateur, can be a hobby, a career and even a lifestyle. It requires a lot of time, effort and different resources

Who Are Photographers and How Do They Work?
Are you that person who sees dollar signs when people pause and utter “cheese?” You could be a photographer if you answer in the affirmative. Photographers are camera artists, who use their artistic eye and technical skills to create shots of anything, from objects and animals to people and scenery. They are usually self-employed contractors, who can be hired to cover events. They can also work as fine artists, who create and sell photos to clients.

Educational Requirements
Although becoming a photographer does not require formal education, photography training is necessary. Many photographers hone their skills through training and experience. Photography training helps to gain technical skills, learn how to operate cameras and other photography equipment, and understand shot composition. Through training, aspiring photographers also get to learn essential skills, including attention to detail, artistic ability, interpersonal skills, and business skills.

Note that it is important to refine your photography skills to stand a chance of getting hired. While some employers may require a bachelor’s degree, others need additional training. After all, no one wants to spend a penny on a photographer who does shoddy work.

Challenges
To become a successful photographer, you must beat challenges- a bunch of them as a matter of fact. From stressful clients to the financial side of it all, you can really be bombarded from every corner. However, you must remain composed, since chasing a check is constant. Dry spells are worth mentioning. However, these challenges are perhaps what makes the field not to be everyone’s cup of tea. If everyone was a photographer, all of them would be jobless.
