They are frequently hired by companies and businesses that require photographs, particularly for advertising purposes, to be taken. Commercial photography has a very wide scope and many different methods and pieces of equipment are utilised to produce various results. Architectural photography and fashion photography are both often used for commercial purposes.
A commercial photographer will typically have a wide range of specialist equipment, depending on their speciality, although modern digital camera that have a variety of functions allow commercial photographers to make a wide range of different images that could fall into categories as broad as architectural photography or portraits. Despite the advances in digital camera technology in recent years many commercial photographers will insist on using traditional film loading SLR cameras as many people believe that these produce a high quality image than digital cameras.
However, this is not strictly true as many very high end digital cameras are capable of producing extremely high quality images. Commercial photographers who specialise in architectural photography, particularly exterior architectural photography are likely to have a variety of different lenses that are adapted to suit various light settings. Architectural photographer is often done at night to increase the visual impact of a building, and so specialist lenses that are suited to taken photographs with very long exposure times are often used. Other specialist equipment that may be used in architectural photography could included tripods and special timers.
