These types of photos are mainly for advertising and marketing purposes, so a lot of the time many of the pictures are of consumer goods.

 * 1) The types of photos these photographers take vary on what the photographer is taking them for. Most of the time, these photographers will take landscapes or cityscape pictures that highlight various architecture or engineering purposes. Therefore, these pictures are taken in more urban areas that are full of skyscraper buildings and houses with known architecture. However, these photographers can also take portraits of different corporations or companies for different magazines or websites to promote these businesses.


 * 1) The style of work created in order to satisfy the client is a realistic view that is almost journalistic. The clients are hiring these photographers to take these pictures for more business-like purposes. They need the pictures to look real, not at an abstract, fine art perspective. The only situation of an abstract picture being taken is possibly for a book cover, however these photographers will mostly focus their time on pictures for companies and advertisements or the industrial world.

 * 1) In order to be successful and to get a solid start on a career in commercial and industrial photography, post-high school education is recommended and normally required. Associate's and bachelor’s degrees will give those in this career a foundation to a start on the right path. Usually more photographers are hired when they have some type of education from not just a high school, but a university or art school. Some photographers in this field could keep going on to get a master’s degree as well and they will pursue continuing education classes to keep themselves up-to-date. This education is mostly to help with knowledge of lighting and transfer skills.


 * 1) These photographers will mostly work for a corporation. They are taking pictures that go on magazine covers or on business websites, therefore they are not working free lance or in their own studio. Commercial and industrial photographers will take pictures that are for other people and other corporations, not for their own doing. That is how they will earn most of their money: through other businesses hiring them to advertise through their photography.


 * 1) After each unit we have had in the class so far, I have found that I enjoyed taking photos of different places instead of people. You can go out and explore new cities and areas that you never thought to look, and find the beauty in old, rustic buildings. Since I found a love for taking those photos of various places, I felt like the best career pathway for me would be this commercial and industrial photography where I can go and find the beauty in the different businesses and products near me. This is something different, something that not a lot of people may consider as photographic art. However, when you look at such a picture with such simplicity in nature, that is why I am interested in such a career. You can take it with you anywhere, make a story and try to sell a product for a corporation. That is what this job would be like. That is why I would want to follow this pathway if any.

 * 1) For this assignment, I plan to go downtown Milwaukee to the Third Ward Area and the Lakefront by Summerfest Grounds. In Milwaukee, I plan to set up a photo shoot through the Third Ward and the lakefront areas as I will be taking pictures of the restaurants, historical buildings, and shops in the Third Ward as well as the industrialized products (lighthouse, bridges, boats) near the lakefront. From there and with the pictures I will have photographed, I will decide the 3-5 image series of pictures to choose from. Currently, I am leaning towards using a series of pictures of different restaurants and shops in the Third Ward because of their rustic feel and historic tones. However, the lakefront offers some industrial spots that would contribute nicely to my project as well. However, due to the historic nature that is in the “Historic Third Ward,” using pictures of the old restaurants and buildings in this type of career might make my series more pleasing and art-worthy to look at.
