Photography In The Real World

Animal photographers take a variety of types of photos. Some animal photographers take pictures of exotic animals in their natural habitat, which is an example of nature. Some animal photographers take pictures of household animals for catalogs, calendars, the owners desire, ect -- these are portraits of animals. There photographs must look natural, realistic, and show the animals personality. When starting a career in animal photography the salary is about $28,000, the mid-career salary is $44,00, and a veteran's salary is $60,000. Some very experienced animal photographers will shoot for magazines like National Geographic, and are paid per photograph. To be an animal photographer a degree in photojournalism is helpful, but not required. Animal photographers can work in a variety of settings, but most are freelance photographers.Some also have their own studio, and some work for corporations. I was interested in animal photography because I love animal, and would love to work with them. I think that animals are truly beautiful and a work of art that deserves to be photographed. Animal photography could also be used to improve animal rights. I am against zoos and animal abuse, so photography could be used to spread my opinion and benefit animals.

For the //Photography In the Real World// assignment I plan to photograph my dogs. I will take at least 36 photographs, and will print 3 photographs. I will print one picture of each dog, and then one picture of both of them together. These three pictures will be mounted, but not in a straight line, because dogs are never perfect of still. Animal photography is random and spontaneous. I will photograph them with a plain background and crop the images close to the dogs because the dogs are the only subject of the images.
