A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hey Guys, I’m 17 and looking for recommendations for photography related job ideas, as I’m just finishing school and studying photography next year. So far I’ve been looking out for studio and camera shop jobs but haven’t found much. Any advice is appreciated.

I'm a real estate agent and real estate agents are always looking for a realiable photographer to photograph houses. If you show up on time, take good photos and deliver them fast, you can make great in-school money. Standard photo package on-time should be at least $150 and the real estate agent is making plenty on the listing to pay you. Multi-image HDR is a must. You need an ultra-wide-angle for indoors (14mm I think is pretty standard even though the photos don't seem like it). The front of the house needs a 50mm for some compression without having to be a mile away from the house to take the photo, so two lenses and HDR processing and you've got an automatic money stream.

Good luck. I wish I had gotten into photography when I was 17.

I have a 24mm, is that enough to get started?

I think you would find that's not wide enough for indoor real estate photos. Ultra-wides aren't so expensive usually. I wouldn't look at it as a cost. I'd look at it as an investment.

Totally understand, thank you!
