From the Back Cover
Do you feel more comfortable behind a camera lens than in front of it? Are you the "official" photographer at family get-togethers? Then you are a shutterbug, a person who likes to document our world in pictures. In Careers for Shutterbugs, you will find out how a passion for photography can earn you a healthy paycheck (and probably free film). Here you will read how shutterbugs:
- Capture special moments in people's lives
- Tell a news story in pictures
- Inspire our imagination with their art
- Unravel medical mysteries with their images
- Provide the visual part of advertising . . . and more!
Inside, you'll find all the information you need on salaries, working conditions, and opportunities for professional advancement. Written for newcomers and career-changers alike, Careers for Shutterbugs will show you the way to happiness behind the lens.

Well written photography book...,

This review is from: Careers for Shutterbugs & Other Candid Types (Vgm Careers for You Series) (Hardcover)
I'm considering turning a hobby into a career, and so don't know how professional photographers would rate this book. I thought it was very informative and readable, and especially liked the numerous references and addresses for getting additional information on a particular topic. Chapters include careers in photojournalism, advertising, freelance, travel, government, and medical photography. The book also discusses digital photography, the internet, and the fact that current technology is changing how photographers do their jobs.
