What exactly do you do for a photography major in college?

Hello everybody in this month I should choose my major..I want to study photography in college of arts and sciences first, I want to know what the advantage and disadvantage of photography? and what the available jobs for this major after graduating?

  • Answer:

    I lost my proper job last year (I was 50yrs old) and started my photography business. All my equipment and investment costs were about £8,000 and now I have a net income of over £1,000 per month. I have a website advertising Events (Weddings, parties, christenings, anniversaries) and Portraits (family, model, boudoir, commercial headshots, passports) I get one or two jobs a week and in my spare time organise and take photographs I am interested in. I do not work hard at it and have not done any agressive marketing. I have portable studio equipment and avoid the overhead of a studio. I hire halls, borrow houses from friends, conference rooms and use the clients home. I have been pleasantly surprised at my regular income and believe that with time my business could grow much bigger.

look i really dont want to discourage youfrom going after ur dream but i think photography as a career is unlikely. why not do that as a hobby and study something else to fall backon?

I don't think you can get a 'real' job in photography. Crime scene photography perhaps? Medical photography? Private eye? Some kind of town planning assistant? I think photography is a discipline where you create your own job. You take the photos, make a story, try to find someone who likes your photos and story. OR find someone who needs photos, and give them the pictures they desire. Just make sure yours suit the purpose better than everyone elses. One day you may find you get more money by chasing celebrities and become one of the hated 'paparazzi' (though people will still buy the magazines publishing your photos, of course). Or you make take some unusual photos, add a catchy phrase, and turn them into calendars, t-shirts or whatever. Good luck, I hope someone else has a better answer.
