Young people who love art don't have to choose between following their dreams and finding a career. There are so many other creative careers out there beyond the typical ones we often hear about like graphic designer, animator, comic book artist, or illustrator.
One lesser-known creative career that can be extremely rewarding? Pet and Wildlife Photographer.
In this video, photographer Peter Sharp talks about his work, how he pursued the career, what it entails, the Wacom tools he uses, and why it's so rewarding.
Sharp has loved photography ever since he got his first camera as a teenager, but it didn’t become his career until much later. He worked as an audio engineer and as an electronics marketer, first, but then everything changed.
He was diagnosed with a spinal condition that put him in and out of the hospital for years, an he picked photography back up as a form of art therapy. A trip to Africa in 2015 reignited his love of animals, and he realized he could pursue a new career combining the two.
Since then, he’s built a home photography studio, full of Wacom gear that allows him to work in ergonomic ways to take pressure off of his back, and at which he can shoot a variety of pets and other animals.
