Careers in Photography

Getting into the Fashion Industry- fashion photographer

Step 1- You have to start somewhere. Build up on a portfolio by taking shoots for free or having your friends model for you and practice. Having friends share their photos on social networking sites will give you more exposure 

Step 2 - Work with real models. Now that you had practice working with people you know, you're prepared to work with real models. An easy way to do this is through joining ModelMayhem online- a simple social networking site for fashion designers, photographers, models, and agencies. It'll be really easy to get jobs through the website and you can stay in contact with people in the business. Start shooting for clothing companies, especially private or local apparel stores who may not have a professional photographer for their merchandise.

Step 3- Make it easy to find you. Once you have your spectacular portfolio complete it will be useful when you have models and designers look at your work and see if you're up to the job. Make your work visible online!

Step 4- Keep taking pictures. From here on out, you have choices to work on your own or submit your portfolio to agencies and studios for publication. Never stop taking pictures, your portfolio should be ever-growing. 

At Your Weddings and Birthday Parties- event photography

Tips if you want to specialize in event photography:

Step 1-  Learn the event. Make sure the style of photography you do fits the event. For example, at sports games, it would be useful to learn the game in advance. 

Step 2- close-ups. Take pictures of lots of people at the event.

Step 3- Shoot quick sets. Some events may be fast-paced and will want to take different pictures at different places. It's important that your setup is flexible, especially if there are random oppurtunities for good pics, you have to be ready for those.

Step 4- Come early, leave last. Make sure you plan on arriving early. Have your equipment ready to go, so you don't want to be rushing, especially for a wedding. If you come first, you have time to set-up the camera and backdrops,etc. You also want to be the last one to leave the event, so you are there to take pictures of everything and get in as many shots as possible.

The Most Annoying Photographer- paparazzi

Paparazzis are pests who spend their time following high-profile individuals and celebrities to document on their day to day lives. You will generally find this type of job listed under 'media photojournalism' which is the same thing as paparazzi. The best locations for these positions are found in: LA, Hollywood, and NY City. Typically, the company doesn't provide equipment and will expect that you own these things already. Now the most important part is actually finding celebrities. Do some research, find out where the top actors and celebs hang out. Once you get a really good photo make sure you get is sold as quickly as possible.It's important to establish ownership of the photos you take, b/c it's so easy for someone to pass your pictures off as their own. 

Notes- Creative Shooting

BACKGROUND

• photo reps avg light over a timeframe <-duration=shutter speed
• fast shutter speed = high ISO & low f#
• slow shutter speed = low ISO speed & high f#

CONVEYING MOTION

• when blurring a picture, there are 3 traits that need to be taken into account
• Speed- subjects moving faster will appear more blurred
• Direction of Motion- subjs moving towards or away from cam aren't as blurry as those moving side to side
• Magnification- subj will appear more blurred if they occupy greater fraction of your img frame
• moving water: shutter speed can make waterfalls appears silky or surreal
• portrait and moving train: use slow shutter speed to emph stationary subject amongst movement

MOVING WITH THE SUBJECT&PANNING

• a successful panning shot requires a shutter speed which is just slow enough to cause background to streak, but fast enough that subh still appears sharp

FREEZING FAST ACTION& HIGH-SPEED MOTION

• key to capturing fast-moving subj: 'learn to anticipate when you subj will be in the desired position'
• pre-focusing on or near your expected subject location can therefore greatly reduce shutter lag

ZOOMING BLUR

 try zooming during part of exposure to lessen effect->causes subj to have incr radial blur

"What Grade Do You Think You Deserve?"

I think I deserve an 'A' in this class (and I did according to the progress report, thanks Mr B!) I make sure I log on to 'Synchron-eyes' before you finish taking attendance!  I've turned in every assignment in so far, despite some of them being late or partially done. I am productive in class, I avidly use Photoshop to work on projects. The projects that I work on are well done and creative, it's obvious that I put some effort into it rather than just shopping people's faces on things. When I'm not on the computer, I'm taking pictures with Kayla, Dylan, and Adrian. And when we go out and take pictures we actually go out and take pictures and not bother other classes or mess around or ditch. Adrian for some reason had an 'F' in this class, so we're doing our best to help him get caught up by making sure he takes pictures AND e-mail them on time. Yeah that's pretty much it.
