 * 6)  Explain the types of photos photographers shoot (portrait, landscape, cityscape, still life, nature, rural, urban)
 * 7) The types of photos photographers shoot are still lifes. They focus on the characteristics of the food they are photographing making them appealing to the viewer.
 * 8) Explain the style of work they must create in order to satisfy their client (realistic, abstract, glamour, journalistic, documentary, expressionistic, experimental)
 * 9) A food photographer must make their photos look as realistic as possible in order to satisfy their client, but still make them appealing with glamour. The client they are taking pictures for will want their product to look out of the world delicious, but the buyer of the product wants to know what they are buying. So if they make this too glamourous and false advertised the product will not sell.
 * 10) Explain the salaries they earn for their work (starting out, mid career, veteran)
 * 11) Starting out a food photographer may have a salary as low as $17,350. Then mid career the low salary could be around 20,710. As a veteran the low would be around $43,700.
 * 12) Explain the type or kind of schooling or other preparation they must go through

 * 15) A food photographer works as freelancer, allowing for more freedom in the job.
 * 16) Describe why you are interested in this specific career and what you think it would be like to do this for a living.
 * 17) This job interested me, because of the amazing detail done by the photographers, making the items look so delicious in a way I never really thought about before. When I really thought about the importance of this job, I realized that it was everywhere, in cook books, magazines, menus, basically everywhere there is food, a food photographer was used. Doing this job for a living would definitely make me hungry. But honestly I think this would be fun, because of the beauty one photo can do to impact so many viewers, selling the item just because of that one photo.
 * 18) List the names of three photographers who do this sort of work and list a link to their work or their studio.

 * 1) Write a proposal for your Real World Photography Assignment. What do you plan to do for the assignment? Set up a photo-shoot that mimics the career (Fashion photographer you'd shoot a fashion show, sports photographer you'd shoot a sporting event etc) or will you find a real career photographer and job shadow them and photograph them at work? Explain your plan and the 3-5 image series you plan to shoot. These must be new images shot specifically for this assignment. Can't use old stuff.
 * 2) For the Real World Photography Assignment, I plan to set up my own photo-shoot that mimics the career of a food photographer. My focus will be towards fruits, especially citrus, such as limes, lemons, different kinds of oranges,and grapefruit. I hope to bring out the natural colors, use interesting placement, and have some dramatic lighting to bring character to my photos. Some props I may use are different bowls, along with varying fabrics to add different textures. Also to add some more color I will try to incorporate cranberries.
