Professional photography can be a lucrative field that gives you an opportunity to earn an income doing what you love. In practice, there are relatively few full-time photographer roles, and the overwhelming majority are self-employed or ‘freelance’, working for a range of clients.
Whilst some will find a particular niche or specialism that is sustainable and fulfilling, most freelance photographers have ‘portfolio careers’, and their work might be comprised of a combination of some of the roles outlined here. Although day rates for freelances can be high, establishing a steady, reliable stream of clients and contracts can take several years to establish.
Whether you seek out a path towards commercial or editorial photography, or see yourself working within the art world and cultural industries, a good undergraduate degree will equip you with the tools you need to carve out a career within this ever-evolving medium.
Here are just a few of the career paths that photography graduates will take:
