Natural Documentary Photographer



Types of photos photographers shoot (portrait, landscape, cityscape, still life, nature, rural, urban): These photographers usually take landscape and nature photos. However, because they also highlight nature in cities and nature of people, they may take city scapes and portraits as well.

The style of work they must create in order to satisfy their client (realistic, abstract, glamour, journalistic, documentary, expressionistic, experimental): The type of photography they must create is typically documentary and realistic in order to capture nature for audiences to see and understand.

The salaries they earn for their work (starting out, mid career, veteran): Typically 500 dollars a day + travel expenses. It varies on forth from that up to gaining 700 a day. Most trips are 10-14 days so thats 5k-7k for the starter salaries.

The type or kind of schooling or other preparation they must go through: They must get some sort of degree but a lot wish it to be not in photography (ex: journalism, natural sciences, etc.).

The type of environment they work in (own studio, corporation, free lance from home, other): They often work for a magazine or other publisher and are sent abroad to take images. This would count under corporation.

Describe why you are interested in this specific career and what you think it would be like to do this for a living.: I love the natural world and it would be really fun to photograph it. I like travel as well which is why this career would be interesting to do as a living. A lot of it would be fairly dangerous because of how close you need to get to animals, but the sights and scenes are worth it.

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.

I want to shoot images in my backyard because it is a space that has always remained wild, untamed, and unknown to me. I want to take images in a way that mimics a nature documenter by photographing nature in its natural space. By finding spaces and creatures and bringing them to the light where people would not normally see them, I'd be doing what documentary photographers do all the time as their career. I want to go out preferably when it's dry so I can take pictures of spaces people normally don't get to see, such as the dried creek and other spaces, as well as animals that people may not see in the suburbs of Pewaukee.
