The art and design field is made up of many exciting careers, including photography. This profession, which involves taking pictures for books, magazines, or online publications, is perfect for someone with an eye for getting the best shots. To succeed in this industry, photographers must learn how to use a camera and how to promote their work, since most people who work in this field are self-employed. Part of the Art and Design Careers series, A Career in Photography is a guide for young people who want to freeze moments in time—on sports fields, in nature, or even under the lens of a microscope!
