What sorts of jobs can I get with a degree in photography?

Going to school for Photography doesn’t mean at all that you will be able to get a job as a photographer. Next to being a film director and movie star, photography is the most sought out position in industry. There are many careers in the graphic arts industry.

If you have a BFA or a BA in visual sciences you may qualify for careers as a digital prepress operator, photographer’s assistant, studio manager, production assistant and image editor. Of course these jobs are in high demand but not as sought after as a primary photographer. It is very difficult to work as a freelance photographer without professional experience.

A way to get that experience is to work as an intern or photography assistant with a studio. You should put together a professional portfolio of your work. It is also advisable to create an online portfolio.

Sites like Red Bubble will allow you to create an online store and portfolio for free. If you work in a major media market like New York you may have some luck getting some freelance work if you have talent. redbubble.com.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
