Some work for companies, while others are self-employed, finding clients and managing their own businesses.  

Creativity, patience, and good communication skills are important, as they often dirct models or clients to get the best shots.  

A photographer's yearly salary can vary widely based on experience, location and the type of photography they specialise in.  On average, photographers earn around £24,418 per year.  However, this can range from about £15,276 to £49,620 annually.

Strong formal qualifications aren't strictly necessary, but they can be beneficial.  Many photographers pursue courses or degrees in photography to learn technical skills and build a strong portfolio.  

At Northern Schools Trust, the key qualification to consider for pursuing a career in this field is A-level Photography.
