This is an example of Building and Landscape photography, and shows how very interesting photos can come from very boring places. A side of a building, some incredibly simple can easily be turned into a creative and well done photograph with various simple interest points in the photo.

The most expected photo, portraits. Which are so common they've seem to become the hardest aspect to do. Because you've got to really step outside the box and get creative especially free lance portrait photography

I am considering photography, but not focusing on one single part of photography. Being free lance and being hired to do various things, from weddings to senior pictures. Most photographers are like this, but there are many that are specifically wedding photographers or nature photographers. I'd like to explore just the general aspect of photography. Photography requires the obvious, the ability to work a camera. But anyone can do that, photographers need to be able to work with the computer and work with the camera further than people usually thing. They've got to be a little more flexible with their creative ideas. And most definitely have to have people skills. In this line of work it can vary from a specialized school (art school) to a two year program. Really you actually don't need to go to a school but it's helpful because they teach more than the basics and provide opportunity and people will see that you're educated in this line of work even though it's just photography. It'll give you a further advancement, in understanding certain things about light and setting things up. The average salary for a freelance artist is about $46,000. Because it's much more dependent on the job it can vary. In this line of work, you can have an internship, but mainly its on your own. Having a website and business cards really help, but it is really you going out of your way to find jobs. Because its not as easy as working for a huge company that everyone knows about. A typical day is posting on your website or going to job sites, editing photos and getting them out to clients. Or meeting with potential clients, its a major hit or miss field of work. I want to step outside the box, literally (I should get an A+ for bad puns), I'm going to use a tin and have a strip of in formation that will be folded accordion style so it pops out. It will have screened back photos for examples and the contact information on each panel. It'll be sent in the mail and when they open it, the paper will pop out and they can pull it out and save it AND use the tin for other things like paperclip storage. I feel like this is something people wouldn't think of and can really get people to remember me. Seeing that they'll think of me and my photos. Though it's not a poster its a little more memorable than just a sheet of paper, pop ups are always very cute. Though its not just photography, I feel like it'll show that I'm willing to push the boundaries of what photography is, and create a sculpture with it, and show that anything is possible when working with me.
