Note

Today I had the opportunity to talk to an estate agents professional photographer. I told him that I was a photography student and told him about my interests, I thought that this would be a perfect chance to ask him about how he got to where he is and ask his questions about the industry. 

He basically told me that the job that he landed straight after coming out of university was for an estate agent, he was offered the job based on his portfolio and experience within the photographic industry. I then tried to get as much information out of him as I could, specifically about his income. He told me that he gets a basic salary and if he photographs more than 3/4 houses per day for the year, he receives bonus. It was great to talk to a graduate who has found such a steady and well paid job in the industry. Due to my interest in property, I may keep this kind of job in mind for after I graduate. 

I managed to get the photographers details and website, below is a link and some images of the website. 

I also noticed that Jack puts his work onto Alamy, the online stock image library that I talked about earlier in my blog. Again, I will look into creating an account with alamy and hope to upload many of my suitable images.
