Photo Careers

• Wildlife photography is for people who love to be outdoors and enjoy animals. While sports photography is non-stop action, one of the most important virtues of a wildlife photographer is patience. While some spectacular shots require fast reflexes and a strong hand-eye coordination, most of the time is spent waiting for animals to do something or appear nearby altogether. • Due to climate change and the rapidly advancing endangerment of numerous species, professionals in the field are now using photographs as a tool to raise awareness. Because of this, the popularity of wildlife photography is at an all-time high, making the opportunity to have your work published even more likely. • Wildlife photographers sell their photos to magazines and publications and display in galleries to sell as decor for businesses and homes. $15,000 - $81,000 Average $41,000 per year Wildlife Photographer
