Medical Photographer

Portrait photographers take pictures of individuals or groups and usually work in a commercially owned studio or on location (like at a school or amusement park). You'll need to be a multi-tasker, because in addition to taking pictures you'll probably have to schedule appointments, set up your equipment, keep records, and sometimes train new employees. Because most photography is done digitally, you'll also need to be good with technology, such as different kinds of digital cameras and computers. Physically, you'll need sharp eyesight or corrective lenses and good hand-eye coordination.
