As a photographer, there are a lot of things you will have sacrifice. Careers in the photo industry differ from each other; some jobs are very demanding. One of the things I am willing to sacrifice is being alone. Me, myself, and I. Another thing that I am willing to sacrifice is time. Being a photographer takes a lot of work from behind the camera and away from the camera. “One of the challenges of being self-employed-especially as a photographer-is the presumption of how your time is spent. Few if any, photographers know how their day is spent.” With different occupations there comes different sacrifices. Working a job that takes away from my social life is something that will be hard to do, but will be worth it in the long run. The benefits are what matters. Another sacrifice I am willing to make is relocating. This, just like my social life will be another hard sacrifice to make. I have lived in Las Vegas Nevada all my life. Leaving everything I know, and everything I am used to would be a big change for me. I am willing to do it though. There is s lot of work for photographers here in Las Vegas, but a lot of it is freelance, a cutthroat type of business, with the exception of a couple steady photography jobs. So if you are a photographer here in Nevada relocating should already be a sacrifice you are willing to make. Personal safety is another thing I am willing to sacrifice. I have an interest in photojournalism, and some of the assignments you might need to document could put you in the middle of a dangerous situation. Many wartime photographers make their living by risking their own safety every time they go out to shoot. What ever the sacrifices may be, if the benefits in the end are good for me as a person and for my career as a photographer, I would be willing to make them.
