These 3 pictures were taken by Steve McCurry, a portrait photographer who always understands their subject very well. In these pictures, I can clearly see what each style of photo said about each person. What stood out to me in these photos is all of the color the photographer brings out, making his style being very abstract.

The salary of a portrait photographer doesn't necessarily range drastically, with most of them making an average $32,000 annually. Based on a 40 hour week, that equals $15.38 an hour.

With being a portrait photographer, there isn't much of an education needed besides personal training and getting to know your camera. However, taking different classes or obtaining a bachelors degree could improve job prospects.

Portrait photographers are usually self-employed but may work in a studio. Taking portraits could be as simple as a point and shoot. You could travel anywhere and would be able to take many different pictures with whatever working hours you choose. On the other hand, being more of a professional could require his/her own studio for the perfect lighting and technology required.

I am very interested in possibly becoming a portrait photographer, and ever since I was a kid I have thought about becoming one. I couldn't ask for much more if I have my own working hours, have my own studio/business, and having many opportunities to travel the world and meet new people.

For my real world photography assignment, I will be creating a photoshoot using a fashion-show feel towards it. While looking at some of Steve McCurrys work, I am very intrigues by the bright, vibrant colors he portrays. In my photo shoot I will focus on creating different color schemes as well as using different kinds of lightings to give off different effects. My final 5 image series will be influenced by Steve McCurrys work.
