Is there a demand for photographers?

Photoshop

Yes there is. Whether it be journalism, wedding, theatrical, school and so on, there needs to be some one behind the camera. How ever the amount of photographers to fill that demand is overwhelming. With the introduction of digital Photography came a rise or people who have never touched a roll of film. I call these people "Photoshop photographers."

Yes due to all kinds of new technological developments such as Desk Top Publishing and all kinds of New (Online) Media like (email) Newsletters, Websites, WAP-telephones etc. etc. there are a lot of New Markets that are hungry for Photo's. There are a lot of Photo Stock Agencies where you can sell your photo's to. Keep in mind that there is also a lot of competition, so it is important to study this market carefully and it can be a good thing to specialise yourself to be able to compete in a specific niche.

AnswerNo AnswerYes, but increasingly there is a demand for images as opposed to the services of a photographer. The industry has been significantly streamlined through stock photography, which caters for both professionals and amateurs. The internet has led to a lot of photographers working freelance, with online portfoliOS from which sales are made. Often magazines no longer have an 'in-house' photographer. There will always be some demand for commissions and high quality work, but at the fringes the boundaries between pro photographers and amateurs making a bit of extra money have become pretty blurred.
