Module 2: Careers in Photography Fashion Photographers: People pay for fashion photographers so they can see the latest designs/trends for fashion. A lot of shows such as America’s Next Top Model use photographers, and if they didn’t have fashion photographers they wouldn’t have a show. It’s critical for them. Magazines use fashion photographers. Just take a look at an everyday fashion magazine; there are tons of fashion pictures in them, all taken by a fashion photographer. If there weren’t fashion photographers, we’d be losing lots of entertainment. It’s special because you’re able to see all angles of fashion through a few different pictures. I don’t think just anybody could do this job. You would have to know about angles and which direction is the best way to take a picture. Scientific Photographers: Scientific photography is how we learn today. If you go on the internet to look something educational up, and there’s photos in it, most were taken for science. In textbooks there’s tons of science. Where would we be without it? The photos show us new discoveries that may change parts of our life. What would we know about space without photos? Nothing. Without searching space before we flew into it, we would be taking huge risks. The photos are special because they teach us what we didn’t know about before. You would need somebody who knows what they’re looking for and how to capture a picture perfectly to take this job. Motion Picture Photographers: We’d lose one of our major sources of entertainment if we gave this up. These photographers capture each moment of the movie to show to us. If these photographers weren’t trained, they could miss the scene completely, or have a really bad angle. In each movie there’s about two or three cameras all over the room so it can capture the right angle. You’d need a skilled camera guy for this. He has to know how to follow the scene exactly. Newspaper and Television Photographers: The news provides us with information that is valuable to us. The cameras capture the moments that can change a life. We’d know nothing without those images or without the cameras the tape the news. The images that they provide for the news shows us what really went on, and sometimes how to prevent that. The camera that tapes the news is the thing we rely on the most to figure out things. Without the camera, we’d hear nothing about what happened that day. I think anybody could do this job. It’s not that hard. All you need to know if keep a camera placed on the news broadcasters. Wedding and portrait photographers: This is an important job because it captures sentiment moments for people. If you miss the shot, you’ve just lost a job basically. Portraits can be for anything: Family portraits, school portraits, ect. You need to have good aim and precise time for this job. I think you need skill for this job. It’s not just a job for anybody. A converging lens is sometimes used as a magnifying glass. This is probably what a zoom is properly called. A diverging lens will produce a virtual image. An example of this is a Smart Board. Transmitted light is light that has passes through a transparent or translucent material. The amount of light that has passed through the material depends on the density level. A pinhole camera is a simple camera that has no lens and a very small aperture. Basically, it’s a small light-proof box with a small hole on one side. Focal length is the distance from the optical center of the lens to the focal point. Aperture is the hole/opening in the camera where light travels through. The f-numbers expresses the diameter of the entrance pupil. Stopping down is reducing the the size of the iris of a lens. Reflected light is when light, from a light source, reflects off an object before the photo is taken. Refracted light is when the waves change, causeing us to see something else.A telephoto lens is a specific construction of a long focal length. When the shutter is closed, the aperture is being controlled with it. The time of the aperture can vary anywhere from, 1/8000 of a second to 30 seconds.
