there are many types of photography jobs, portraiture ( weddings, school, senior shots), commercial ( fashion, food, travel) bio-communications ( medical work), and fine art photo!. (ex!. ansel adams but that is a hard job and is not a steady pay) it all depends on your style and what you are interested in, commercial pays more, but is very stressful, plus you need to get a good camera for the job and know how to use it in the blink of an eye!.photography can be pretty stressful for a job, your always trying to please!. networking is a good way to start, i would suggest getting a camera taking some photos of your style in what you want, then going and working with a studio/ agency then you can branch from there plus great working experience and word of mouth from the customers that you will meet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you are going into photography, I would have a backup job to fall back on during the fall and winter!.
Photography is in High demand during the spring and summer because of all the birthday and weddings!.!.etc
but in the cooler months not so much!.

Although you could get into doing school portraits during the school year!.
Hope it helps:)Www@QuestionHome@Com
