Exploring This Job
Larger camera stores often have an on-site employee who does limited camera adjustment and repair. This person can be a good source of information about opportunities in this field. Perhaps you could also job-shadow a technician to learn more about the field. Ask your school counselor and art teacher for help setting up these experiences. You can also obtain information from technical schools and institutes offering photographic equipment courses. In addition, many schools and community centers have photography clubs, some with their own darkrooms, which offer an excellent chance to explore the field of photography. Watch videos about camera repair on YouTube to learn how to use and repair cameras.
