This is an excellent career choice for those who wish to combine their photographic skills with an animal related career. There are several animal photographer career opportunities, such as setting up an animal portrait business, creating a photo library, wildlife/safari photography and running photography courses. It would be preferable to have some sort of previous hands-on animal care experience (if working in the companion animal photography sector), and be prepared to work flexible hours in order to be successful.
To become a professional pet photographer, you can study this online Ofqual regulated qualification.
If you want to become a wildlife photographer, this would be an ideal qualification to get you started.
Both of these online courses include practical training to get you job ready. If you want to set up your own animal photography business, this course will give you the knowledge and confidence to do so.
