Extensive Definition
A photographer is a person who takes a photograph using a camera. A professional
photographer uses photography to make a
living.
Photographers are often categorized based on the
subjects they photograph. Some photographers explore subjects
typical of paintings such as landscape, still life,
and portraiture. Other
photographers specialize in subjects unique to photography,
including street
photography, documentary
photography, fashion
photography, wedding
photography and commercial
photography. The distinction between artistic photography and
photojournalism
or other types of photography and the associated techniques does
not remove this personal aspect from the work of the great
photographers.
