Events large and small require a good plan, with a carefully crafted itinerary and a schedule that tells everyone where they need to be, and when. There are several important ingredients that will go into a plan, ensuring that an event can run to schedule. These are some of the most important ones:

• Plans for external resources and contractors. This will usually include photographers primarily; their services make events successful and ensure there are memories to look back on. If the event is a business event, they can also provide marketing imagery to promote the event and other services for the business in question.
• Venue hire. This is one of the factors that will need to be secured well ahead of time. Venues are in demand and good ones get booked up quickly.
• Travel and transport. Arrangements will need to be made for people travelling to the venue. It is also important to communicate transport options to people, such as car parks and public transport.

For some lucky, talented, committed photographers, photography can become a full time career. It can bring in enough income to sustain someone, and allow them to live a happy, comfortable lifestyle. However, this isn’t without its problems, and photography is often not a sustainable career path for someone as a full time job. Many people dip in and out of it as a lifestyle choice, and will take on the work they choose around other commitments and employment.

If photography is going to be a viable career option, you will need to have some kind of qualification and be very talented and skilled. However you also need the right attitude and to be dedicated enough to photography to take any work that comes your way, rather than being picky. As you build up a portfolio, reputation and client base, you may be able to become more picky, but when you’re starting out, paid photography work should be embraced.

Photography can be a hobby or a business – whatever works for you. It’s a flexible activity that can make a good business option on the side, to make you some extra money or to allow you to build up gradually. All in all, there will be options for anybody who loves photography.

People who seriously want to learn more about photography can do so by enrolling on a photography course. It’s also possible to practice a lot in your own time, working on your angles and making sure you can use different types of photography equipment like tripods, filters, and various lenses. This will give you the diversity and flexibility needed to get that perfect shot each and every time. It’s never too late to learn, either. Just get started and throw yourself in. See what you can learn and find out how much you can shape your own development as a photographer.

Everyone loves a good holiday photo. Whether it’s a photo of yourself, relaxing in the summer heat, or it is a picture of the general scenery, you will attach many happy memories to these kinds of photos. They will bring back these memories forever, so it’s important you think about the photos you take and what you want to remember.

If you are at all interested in photography and may want to take photos at other times, you might want to consider investing in a good camera for trips away. This will help you to take better holiday photography and will allow you to explore other photography options at other times, too. Have a think about the kinds of photos you want to take and this will dictate the kind of camera you choose and the lenses that you use with it. You will be able to create some of the very best memories this way.

There is a reason why some photographers make animal photography the main focus of their careers – it is really, really hard to take good photographs of animals! They are especially unpredictable subjects, moving when you don’t expect them to and not looking in the direction of the camera. With some practise though, you can get better at capturing animal images.

When you are photographing a moving animal, have your camera on some kind of motion mode. This will ensure the photo you take isn’t blurry, and will show the animal in its full beauty. If you are trying to photograph an animal sitting still, it may take a little more patience, but you could try using a portrait mode to blur out the background and make the animal the real focus.

It’s important to remember that patience is the key here. If you are patient, you will eventually capture an image you are happy with.
