Reflect on your research In video one video one with the speaker Brian Venth he gave advice on how you can get your work noticed, to build a portfolio, talked about the high peaks and low peaks of his career but at the end of the day he uses those low peaks to improve on his work for next time.

Video two with the Photo Sisters, Ali and Lizzie, in their video they were talking more the business part of photography, what courses they took, and what courses they recommend for students that wants to pursue photography as a career. Pursuing this further, the one surprising thing I heard from both video was that you do not need a degree to become a photographer and that most things in photography ar e self -taught. To be honest both these videos gave very descriptive information about photography but the one thing I would like to learn about is to how to become a wedding photography and are there certain classes I need to take to become one. After watc hing both videos I am very much interested in pursuing my career in photography because it something I’m passionate about. However, these videos made me realize that I need to start building my portfolio, getting on job experience with professional photogr aphers, and start promoting my work.
