Kelsey Fetherston - Photography in the Real World - Portrait Photography
 * 1) Explain the types of photos photographers shoot (portrait, landscape, cityscape, still life, nature, rural, urban) - **The types of photos that portraiture photographers shoot are portraits.**


 * 1) Explain the style of work they must create in order to satisfy their client (realistic, abstract, glamour, journalistic, documentary, expressionistic, experimental) - **The style of work that most portraiture photographs create is professional and realistic, but it always depends on your subject. A key to portraiture is to show emotion and expression, so if your subject is more glamorous, you will probably try to capture that essence.**


 * 1) Explain the salaries they earn for their work (starting out, mid career, veteran) - **The starting out salary for a portraiture photographer is about $31,000, and the mid career salary is about $47,000, while the veteran portraiture photography salary is about $67,000.**


 * 1) Explain the type or kind of schooling or other preparation they must go through - **There isn’t a necessary or mandatory schooling that would be needed for a portraiture photography job. The least amount of training needed would just be minimal job training on the job. Although, art colleges that specialize in photography would be beneficial being that you will have a more advanced and better fundamental thinking when it comes to photography.**


 * 1) Explain the type of environment they work in (own studio, corporation, freelance from home, other) - **Some portraiture photographers work in their own studio with the proper equipment, although, some photographers work outside of a studio and more on the road, such as for events like senior pictures.**


 * 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 really enjoyed our portrait unit in this class, so I wanted to experience this career in a more professional and sophisticated way, with different lighting and backgrounds. I think I would enjoy this career as my profession because this is a great way to capture a person’s emotion and feelings through beautiful photography.  **

 * 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. - **My plan for this project would be to get together with some of my friends and shoot portraits of them, portraying their personalities and emotions. I’d like to make them look more professional so possibly black and white images with harsh lighting to showcase certain features. Another idea that I would like to try to is to capture the essence of excitement through fun and summer-like photos.**
