> Pet photographers usually take still life pictures. This seems to be the most common because dogs are the most common animals to be photographed and they move constantly. So, these photographers try to get pictures of activities these animals are doing to make it look like they are still doing that activity. This is what is known as still-life.
 * 1) ** Explain the types of photos photographers shoot (portrait, landscape, cityscape, still life, nature, rural, urban) **

> These photographers tend to create work that is realistic or glamour shots of these animals. The realistic ones would be more of the still life and candid pictures but some pet photographers also pose the animals if they would let them, in order to get some glamour shots of the animals.
 * 1) ** Explain the style of work they must create in order to satisfy their client (realistic, abstract, glamour, journalistic, documentary, expressionistic, experimental) **

> The starting salary is around $20,000. When they are at the middle of their career they make between $25,000 and $30,000. A veteran of pet photography will make between $30,0000 and $38,000.
 * 1) ** Explain the salaries they earn for their work (starting out, mid career, veteran) **

> Normally, people aren’t just pet photographers and work for someone instead of having their own business. More commonly, pet photographers have their own business and will not need any specific education or schooling to have their job. There are classes offered in college but nothing is required and most pet photographers get on the job experience. However, if they are starting their own business, it would probably be good to go to school for business.
 * 1) ** Explain the type or kind of schooling or other preparation they must go through **

> Pet photographers usually work in their own studio or they take the animals outside to take pictures. The studios normally have set-ups for the pets to sit in but it is becoming more common for the photographer and owner(s) to take the animals to a location outside. This way the animals can be caught doing things they would normally be doing in life to make the pictures look more natural.
 * 1) ** Explain the type of environment they work in (own studio, corporation, free lance from home, other) **

> I am interested in this career because I have always loved animals, especially dogs, and I also like taking pictures. So, I thought that it would be interesting to combine the two. Even with only having taken a few pictures for this project, I know that I already like the profession and find it very interesting and fun.
 * 1) ** Describe why you are interested in this specific career and what you think it would be like to do this for a living. **

> >> >> >> > I will set up a photo shoot and use any dogs that I am able to. I will most likely bring the dogs somewhere outside that has a good background and I can have the dogs play in order to get pictures that look more candid to show the dog’s personality. So, by images that I am planning to shoot will most likely be of my dog and my friends’ dogs. I will try to take pictures of them that I think shows their personality well through the pictures so that they actually mean something. I will also try to have each picture be of a different dog so that the collection is more interesting.

 * 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. **
