Photographers record visual images on film or videotape
to graphically illustrate or explain an idea, record an event or
capture a mood. They generally specialize in a particular type of
subject matter, such as portraits, landscape, nature or news pictures
and in types of equipment such as 35 millimeter cameras,
video, or movie cameras. Some related job titles include portrait
photographers, commercial and industrial photographers,
photojournalists, visual artists, and photo editors.
This major may also lead to many other careers. For additional
