Best & Least Suited for the Job

Least Suited for the Job:
The least suited person for this job would have to be unknown with
computers, photos and editing sites or programs on the computer.
Also, someone who doesn't really use a digital camera should not
go in to the type of photography that deals with uploading them,
and editing them on a computer. They might not know how to use a
digital camera. It's better if you are wanting to do photography to do
the developing pictures kind, instead of the digital kind. If someone
has a hard time deciding what "things" are better to use. This job will
be difficult for you because you always have to decide on what type
of camera or shot to use when taking a picture.If your a kind of person
who can not take the time to do anything,or a person who won't spend
money on the gear, photography might not be really what you want to
do. This is because it takes time to set up equipment, take pacific shots,
and be able to spend a lot of money on new camera gear about every 2 years.

Best Suited For The Job:
The person best suited for this type of job would have to patient.
It takes time to take the pictures, develop/upload the pictures,
edit pictures, set up gear and so on. It would be a good idea to
have your licence for this job because you will be traveling a lot
to different places and you wouldn't want to carry your gear around
on a bus or even a taxi. Someone who is artistic would be a good
example of someone who would do well in this career. Only because
they know the techniques of editing and seeing if it actually looks good.
Someone who can both work by themselves and with people are best
suited for this job because sometimes you will need to decide on your
own what to do and how to do the pictures and even travel by yourself to
various spots. But, you have to work well with other people also, because
it's good to communicate with eachother about where to set up gear, what
kind of camera to use, appointments scheduled, etc.

Trends

If you are interested in digital photography, you would need to update
your equipment every 2 years because digital photography has
been more common. Before, you could use gear up to 25 years before
having to update. If you would prefer to be a commercial photographer
you will need to update technology and be willing to spend some
money. Photographers will continue to use digital imaging equipment
more often to correct mistakes that appear in photos. Photographers
will still be able to do the same thing through the correct lighting and
other technical skills. As life goes on there will be more new and better
technology that photographers would need to be exposed to. This is
why they need to update their gear often.
