ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Photographer

A photographer is someone who takes pictures with a special camera. They might take pictures of people, animals, nature, or things that people use, like clothes or toys.

Just like how you practice writing your name over and over to get better, photographers practice taking pictures to get better at it. They learn how to use different types of cameras and how to adjust the settings on the camera to make the pictures look the way they want them to look.

Sometimes photographers take pictures for fun, like when they go on vacation or see something they like. Other times they take pictures for work, like when a company needs pictures for an advertisement or when someone wants their family portrait taken.

Being a photographer can be really fun because you get to explore your creativity and capture moments for people to look back on and remember.
