 * ===== types of photos photographers shoot (portrait, landscape, cityscape, still life, nature, rural, urban) =====
 * ===== Still lifes =====
 * ===== the style of work they must create in order to satisfy their client (realistic, abstract, glamour, journalistic, documentary, expressionistic, experimental) =====
 * ===== Most photographers that have a focus on food satisfy their client by making the food look fresh and “yummy or delicious” because in the end you want the clients to buy and eat the food. =====
 * ===== the salaries they earn for their work (starting out, mid career, veteran) =====
 * ===== Depending on the industry that you get into, cookbooks, high end cuisine, wedding cakes, etc. the amount of money that you get for doing a shoot is different. Most culinary photographers start out earning between $10,000 and $15,000 a year, but once you start to get higher end clients you will earn more money. =====
 * ===== the type or kind of schooling or other preparation they must go through =====
 * ===== Most small businesses or client will want a high school education with background in art and photography. However, in the bigger industries with high end restaurants and clients you will need an associate's or even bachelor degree in photography. =====
 * ===== the type of environment they work in (own studio, corporation, freelance from home, other) =====
 * ===== The environment that you work in is mostly free lance because you will have a wide variety of clients that you shoot for, so depending on the situation you may work in a kitchen or studio. =====

Why I am interested in this branch of photography?
-I am interested in culinary photography because I have always been so amazed with how beautiful food can look and how an image in a catalogue or on the internet can actually make your mouth water. Also, I have always liked and enjoyed baking so I think that it would be fun to photograph my own food.
