Some travel for photo shoots; others work in their own studios. Still others work in laboratories and use microscopes to photograph subjects. Although postsecondary education is not required for portrait photographers, many take classes because employers usually seek applicants with a “good eye” and creativity, as well as a good technical understanding of photography. Photojournalists and industrial and scientific photographers often need a bachelor’s degree. The median hourly wage for photographers was $15.62 in May 2017. Employment of photographers is projected to decline 6 percent from 2016 to 2026. Salaried jobs may be more difficult to find as more companies contract with freelancers rather than hire their own photographers.
