A myriad of niches
January 3rd, 2010
photography is a skill that encapsulates many different types of niche specialties. For example, some photographers specialize in areas such as: portraits, industrial, scientific, still life or documentary-style photography, to name just a few. Within a specialty there are many other niches. Withing Still life there are inherant other specifications that define a photographer’s work. For further example, there are drip/pour specialists who only shoot moving liquid, moving car specialists, and even surgical and operating room specialists. Portrait photographers take pictures of individuals or groups of people. Some may work on location or in a studio. Portrait photographers who own and operate their own business have many responsibilities in addition to taking pictures. They must arrange for advertising, schedule appointments, set and adjust equipment, purchase supplies, keep records, bill customers, pay bills, and—if they have employees—hire, train, and direct their workers. Many also process their own images, design albums, and mount and frame the finished photographs.
