Photographer

UX Designer, Full-stack developer

A Photographer has a creative soul and takes shots in a variety of fields to offer his customers high-quality photos.

A Photographer is an artist whose daily life is punctuated by photos and prints. A Photographer's main tasks are to organise photo shoots, take photos and touch them up. He can take pictures outside, in a photo studio or in private homes. 

A photographer sells his photographs by canvassing customers interested in his expertise. He can specialise in one or more areas: portraits, products, fashion, landscapes, etc. With his Reflex, Nikon, Canon or others camera, he captures moments with high-definition shots for his customers. He can work for all types of customers and business sectors, for example managing projects for press agencies, retailers and e-commerce manufacturers, magazines or communications agencies. 

As an independent worker – in general – a Photographer takes photos on his own, but can be assisted by a photo assistant and a photo stylist. A make-up artist and hairdresser are sometimes present during photo shoots and advertising campaigns involving models. To develop his films, a Photographer may need to work with a photo laboratory.
