What’s it like to be a Photographer?
Photographers operate cameras and lighting equipment to take photographs of
people, places, products and other subjects.
Photographers stand most of the time and often carry heavy equipment. They may
work on location or in a studio and can spend long periods of time in front of
a computer doing post-production work. While most modern photographers use
digital cameras, some may choose to use film and either develop photographs
themselves in a darkroom or send the film to specialised photographic
processors.
