It wasencouraged by the college so in his 7th and 8th quarter of school he begandoing Senior pictures and Models Test Shots. He graduated from the ArtInstitute of Seattle in 1993 with a degree in Commercial Photography andmoved to Los Angeles, California. In L.A. he began shooting tons ofpublicity stuff and head shots for actors. This turned into makingmagazine covers for the local magazines. He was shooting pictures of hisrental home for the rental agency and their clients got angry when theysaw how nice his pictures were compared to theirs. So the rental agencystarted giving their clients his number and now he specializes inArchitecture and Interiors. These days most of Jamess clients are RealEstate Agents, Contractors, Architects, and Developers. He no longer hasto market himself, all of his business is through referrals. James lived inLas Vegas for 2 Years and owns a home in Palm Springs, California andspends most of his time traveling the triangle between the three citiesworking for existing customers.

For More Pictures Go To: http://jamesbutchartphotographer.com/ 19. I would be thrilled to have a career in any one of these three areas. Like James Ilove to take picture of beautiful things, its one of the reasons I love the PacificNorthwest. I truly enjoy editing photos and I like the challenges that repairing anold damaged photo brings. It looks like when you start off in photography youneed to get whatever work you can and establish a clientele base and getrecognition. Networking with people in the industry and clients is essential andthis is what is my weakest point. I was going to wait until I graduated to seek ajob in the industry since I all ready have a solid steady job, but feel now that Ishould really start seeking out a job now before I graduate. The expected growthrate in any one of my 3 categories is about the same 12%-14% and on averagewith the national employment growth rate for all careers. The only real surprise Ifound is that the average pay in all 3 categories was much higher than I thought itwould be, by about $15,000. 20.
