Making the Padlet was actually pretty easy. Also, my background really shows the career choice I want for this project. Last, I thought Padlet was going to be really hard to setup, but it was actually really easy.:D]]> 2018-04-16 13:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/252117593 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/252121405 2018-04-16 13:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/252121405 4/17/18 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/252543634 I added some things to my Padlet today. I added an article and I made a new column for questions I have about photography. I learned that there's different styles of photography. One style of photography is “naturalistic.”

For example, a Dance Photographer only makes $15 thousand a year. But if your a Team Portrait Photographer, Real Estate Photographer, or a Wedding Photographer you can make $80 thousand-$100 thousand  a year. Yesterday in Ms. Mazur's class I took notes with Alpha boxes and then took the notes and typed them into the computer. The Alpha boxes were pretty straight forward, but it did take along time to finish the notes. SO, I got barely enough time to type all the notes onto Padlet. Before this project I knew the basics of photography but not anything really important. I learned that there's a lot more things that you need to know to become a photographer.]]> 2018-04-18 12:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/252960316 How much does a photographer make? 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/252964855 2018-04-18 12:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/252964855 amazur6 https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/253030912 2018-04-18 14:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/253030912 What I've learned amazur6 https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/253031295 I learned alot about photography. For example, I learned that news or aerial photographers work weekends or overtime. Also, photographers are also often called on last minute when clients plan change or news develops. Some other things that I learned is that the field of professional photography is competitive, a strong portfolio will help you find jobs and sell more work.
  I couldn't answer any of the questions I did have.]]> 2018-04-18 14:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/253031295 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/253038029 2018-04-18 15:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/253038029 Notes 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/254790532 The median pay in 2017 for photographers is $32,490 per year and $15.62 an hour. But, the highest 10 percent can make as much as 36.09$ per hour! I need a high school diploma. The numbers of jobs in 2016 is 147,300. A really cool fact I learned is that 68% of photographers are self employed. Last, 3 and 10 photographers work part time.

Also, 68% so more than half of all photographers are self employed! This isn't something about photograpy but I learned that there's no good articles or videos about how to become a photographer on Khan Academy. The source that I used today was really good and I'll probably use it more. By the way it's a .gov site so it's trustworthy. On Khan Academy there was really only articles and videos about the beginning of photography. Something that surprised me is that the top 10% of photographers make $36.09 an hour! One question that I can't answer is that how much does equipment cost?]]> 2018-04-24 13:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/254796534 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255199048 2018-04-25 12:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255199048 More Notes 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255199374 While some photographers work full time, many work on a part-time basis, and their workload may vary depending on the season. Photographers who work in photojournalism or as scientific or industrial photographers generally need a degree. The second highest paying state for photography is New York! $54,030/$25.98
By 2020 there will be 10,960 employed photographers if the average annual job growth stays the same.]]> 2018-04-25 12:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255199374 4/25/18 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255203207 Today, I learned that you do have to take classes for certain photography jobs. Also, I learned that New York is the second highest paying state for photography. I was surprised that I found a good site for how to become a photographer! It was cool how we did a meditation type thing before we started typing are daily reflections. I think in Ms. Mazurs were going to do the same thing. Read an article or book and take notes on them with the alpha boxes.  A really good think is that average annual job growth is at a 7.87% for New York state! If that stays like that and I still want to become a photographer when I grow up I'll have a chance of getting a job!]]> 2018-04-25 13:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255203207 TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHY! eparente https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255207417 2018-04-25 13:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255207417 Notes from an Alphabox 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255262266

 Strong Portfolio will help you find jobs and sell more work.
 The field of professional photography is competitve.

]]> 2018-04-25 15:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255272875 Notes from Mrs.Parente's class. 2025smansen https://padlet.com/2025smansen/536xfqcux1zs/wish/255605791 For camera gear you need, two cameras, two high quality lenses, two flashes, and Photoshop and Lightroom to edit the images.
If you buy used gear, you can get everything for about $5,000, but $10,000 is more realistic. 
Coming up with a price plan is hard. You'll need to figure out what one hour of your time is worth. So let´s say $40/hour. And every hour is about 3 hours of editing.
You need to invest into a good website. There are free website templates out there, but your website is like your storefront. You want it to be impressive, so it’s best to have a website professionally created. Your website should, of course, showcase your work. 
Social media is a great way to promote yourself. You can use something like facebook

It actually costs a lot of money to buy equipment! Also, I was surprised that you need almost double of the equipment you already have because you need backup equipment. In Ms. Mazur's I'm going to finish up my second book and alphaboxes so I can put the notes on the Padlet.

Yes, the salary isn't that well, but it's much more fun that being a regular photographer. You get to travel the world and meet new people, learn new things and take amazing pictures! But if your a regular photographer you just drive to a wedding or something and take pictures.
 I was surprised that travel photographers don't get payed that much.
  In the article that I read today I learned a lot of important things about travel photography that you should now before you become one. Like tips, and tricks.
    The things that I knew before I studied about travel photography wasn't much. I knew that you traveled the world and took amazing photos, but that was about all.
  This research helped me because it tells you main things that you need to know to become a travel photographer.
 I don't know what I'm going to do in Ms. Mazurs class because I finished an article and two books.

I'll probably work on it in study hall. But, I probably can't because I have to make up Mrs. Ryans class because I had a lesson. In Ms. Mazur's class I'm excited and nervous to write to a well known travel photographer. The thing that I did learn about the photography school is that You don't need any prior education to take a course/class.

In Ms. Mazur's I'm positive that were going to do are final draft for are letters that we wrote yesterday. I was surprised that I didn't need any prior education to get into this online school. I noticed that there's a class for travel photography, finally!

It's been really fun and it makes me want to be a photographer even more than I wanted to before starting this project.

    Things that I need to become a photographer:
    *You need at least a high school diploma.
    *You don't necessarily need a degree
    *You can pay for courses about photographer, meaning that I'll have to save up enough money to pay for the course.
