About us: The site publisher of SeeCalifornia.com, Debbie Stock, has been a professional photographer for 30 years, getting paid to take pictures of people and things. Talk about a fun gig! And she's only 39! Just kidding. Graduating with a degree in Photojournalism wasn't a guarantee for finding work. It did help in getting that first full time job on a newspaper, however.
Today, everybody can take great pictures if they try. With so many cameras available on smart phones, award-winning photos & videos are everywhere you look. The main thing that separates a professional photographer from an amateur is money....but to get paid you must have expertise in the type of work you find someone to pay you for. You must be consistent, never failing, no excuses, and you should exceed expectations. The primary jobs in photography in California these days include photographing weddings, portraits, school pictures and youth sports clubs team pictures and action photos. There are also jobs in the corporate world, in the movie industry, in fashion and in product catalogs and documentation. You're going to need more than a smart phone to compete with the top photographers in these fields to win their clients. You can count on spending around $5,000 to $100,000 investment to get the proper cameras, lighting equipment, etc. It isn't always a one time fee, either. You must keep investing as new trends, cameras and techniques become available.
