A few photographers use electronic cameras to take pictures. These cameras store pictures as digital information that computers can read. Once the image is loaded into the computer, the photographer can change the image. However, this technology is not widely used. News photographers are most likely to use these cameras because they can send their images via computer modems.
Photographers usually specialize in commercial, portrait, or media photography.
Some specialize in weddings or school photographs. Some photographers sell their pictures as artwork. Portrait photographers take pictures of individuals or groups of people. They may be small business owners. They advertise their services, schedule appointments, as well as set and adjust equipment.
