Government Jobs in the Field of Photography

Advertisements

One of the most exciting aspects of photography is the variety of jobs ranging from technical work to specialized work that require visual literacy and creativity. A person can begin his career as an assistant of a professional or senior photographer in such a way that they can grasp the finer points of photography. Professionals in this field can specialize in wildlife, news, fashion, scientific, advertising, industrial and commercial and portrait photography. They can either take up job opportunities in industrial houses, government agencies, advertising agencies, magazines, news papers or they can work as free lancers as well.

Government organizations recruit photographers on regular pay scale to do general photography documentation for covering day-to-day functions and events and for making photo captioning and photo featuring.
