Week 1 EOC: Stallions not Unicorns



The photography career that I want to do most is actually a two-part career. For most of the year, say ten months, I would like to work for a magazine company doing Glamour Photography, something along the lines of Maxim or FHM would be perfect for my style of photography. The rest of the year I want to be able to make enough money from the job at Maxim to be a Travel Photographer working freelance or for the Marriot Corporation or Travel and Leisure Magazine. Traveling around the world photographing the Marriot’s various resorts for travel guides and company brochures. I have a strong grasp of composition and style when it comes to taking both Glamour and Travel style photographs. I have the experience and eye needed for Glamour Photography and I work well with models in a studio environment and location shooting.

For Travel Photography, I enjoy the challenge of trying to capture the perfect shot with just natural lighting and/or just using a flash as your only source of additional illumination. Sometimes finding that perfect shot is all about luck and other times, its all about understanding your environment and knowing to look for the signs of a promising shot versus that of a regular person just pointing and clicking with their camera. 

I would consider working both of these jobs as my one unicorn job. It would be a great accomplishment for myself to be able to do these and make a living at doing them. I would be able to express my creative side and travel the world, as I have always wanted to do. I couldn’t think of a more perfect union of jobs to make the one perfect job.
