Wildlife Photography
What does the job entail? -
A wildlife photography job consists of traveling the world finding certain animals, taking risks in getting the image and maybe coming across rare animals that are hard to capture. Not having fears of certain animals due to the fact if the customer or company wants a certain animal photographed. Being patient as waiting is one of the most important things to do while on a photo shoot so then you can capture the animal at its natural form.

What skills/qualifications are needed for the career? -
Being able to change shutter speeds and settings quickly as when in the wild animals can do whatever they want. So being able to be fast as well as pack up and move quickly is useful as the animal/s may run so you would have to be fit. Plus a A Level or BTEC is very useful to have due to this showing that you have experience and most importantly the basic knowledge needed with a camera.

What equipment is used? -
I would say that two cameras are needed due to the fact if one malfunctions the you have a back up camera. Batteries, tripod, wide angle lens, macro lens and waterproof equipment is also needed due to weather or location conditions.
