The events are special. People do not want to forget them. So, they hire photographers like John. Some people ask John to take photos at their weddings. Or, they may want him at birthday parties. John takes photos of students graduating from school, too. These are all times people do not want to forget. Students graduate from high school.88page0008page0008.xhtmlA bride and groom pose for photos on their wedding day. LET'S EXPLORE MATH Imagine that John takes photos at a wedding. John counts 20 people. 1. Describe how you can show 20 using only ones blocks. 2. Describe how you can use only tens blocks to show 20. ones block tens block99page0009page0009.xhtmlJohn takes photos at sporting events, too. He takes photos of his favorite teams. Then, he sells the photos. Some of his photos are used in news stories. Sometimes, John takes photos that do not have people in them. Instead, he takes photos that show trees and flowers. Or, he may show other things in nature. These are called landscape photos. John works at a football game.1010page0010page0010.xhtmlJohn took this ocean landscape photo. LET'S EXPLORE MATH Imagine that John takes 100 landscape photos. Which of these models shows 100? How can you make the other two models show 100?1111page0011page0011.xhtmlThe Necessary Tools When John goes to photo shoots, he takes his equipment with him. He has a bag that holds all of his items. He packs the bag with tools he needs for the day. The tools John brings vary based on the type of photo shoot. For all photo shoots, he needs his camera. He needs some memory cards, too. These cards are small discs that save the photos John takes. John needs the most memory cards for weddings. He takes more photos at weddings than at any other type of photo shoot.1212page0012page0012.xhtmlJohn's equipment memory card in John's camera LET'S EXPLORE MATH John uses memory cards to save photos. Imagine that each memory card holds 100 photos. 1. John reviews photos in groups of 10. How many groups of 10 can fit on one memory card? 2. John fills 6 memory cards. How many photos did he take? 3. John reviews 30 groups of 10 photos. How many photos does he review? How many memory cards do the photos fill?1313page0013page0013.xhtmlIn John's bag, he has many camera lenses. These lenses connect to the camera. A standard lens can be used for many types of photos. But John can change the lens when he needs to. The type of lens that John needs depends on the type of photo he is taking. John needs a special lens for taking photos at sporting events. It is called a telephoto lens. This lens can be very big. It can cost a lot of money, too. But this lens can take photos from far away. John does not need to be close to the action to get great photos. John takes photos at a football game using his telephoto lens.1414page0014page0014.xhtmltelephoto lens on a camera camera lenses1515page0015page0015.xhtmlJohn uses a wide-angle lens for large scenes. This lens can capture big areas. John uses this lens for his landscape photos. He uses it to take photos of tall things, such as buildings and trees, too. A macro lens takes photos of small things. These photos show a lot of details. John uses this lens when he takes photos of a bride and groom's rings. This lens can be used to show beads on a bride's dress, too. John used a macro lens to take these close?up photos.1616page0016page0016.xhtmlJohn took this landscape photo with a wide?angle lens.1717page0017page0017.xhtmlAt the Photo Shoot Once John is packed, he goes to the photo shoot location. This is where the event will take place or where the client wants him to go. Once there, it is time to start taking photos. First, he finds places with the type of lighting he needs. John likes to use soft lighting in many of his photos. He thinks it is best for making his photos look great. Next, John tries to make the scene look nice. But he does not want the scene to distract from the people in the photos. It is John's job to make everything look perfect.1818page0018page0018.xhtmlpoor lighting good lighting1919page0019page0019.xhtmlJohn must think quickly while he takes photos so he can catch special moments. John keeps his camera ready so he does not miss a thing. John also checks his shutter speed. The shutter is the part of the camera that lets light in. John likes to use a fast shutter when he takes photos of things that move fast. He uses a fast shutter speed at sporting events. A slow shutter speed is used to show motion in a photo. John uses this speed for photos of fireworks. It is John's job to know the best shutter speed for each photo. John used a slow shutter speed to take a photo of fireworks.2020page0020page0020.xhtmlPeople use fast shutter speeds to take clear photos of moving things.2121page0021page0021.xhtmlJohn takes lots of photos at each event. On some days, he needs help. One person cannot take thousands of photos at a wedding. So, he hires one or two other photographers to help him. John may use two or more cameras with different types of lenses at one event. He does this so he does not have to stop to change the lens. John wants to take as many photos as he can. He wants his clients to have a lot of choices. LET'S EXPLORE MATH Imagine that John hires two photographers, Kyra and Victor, to help him. 1. John takes 50 groups of 10 photos. How many photos does he take? 2. Kyra takes 200 more photos than John. How many photos does she take? 3. Victor takes 40 groups of 10 photos. How many fewer photos than John does he take?2222page0022page0022.xhtmlJohn takes photos at a wedding.2323page0023page0023.xhtmlAfter the Photo Shoot Once a photo shoot is done, you may think John's work is done, too. But much of his work is just starting. After the event, he looks at all of the photos. For some events, this may take hours! John deletes any photos that are blurry. He picks photos that he thinks his clients will want to see. Then, he edits those photos. He may make colors look brighter. Or, he may take out spots or imperfections in the photos. John edits photos on his computer.2424page0024page0024.xhtmlJohn chooses the best images to show his clients.2525page0025page0025.xhtmlAfter John is done editing photos, he shows them to his clients. His clients choose the ones they want to buy. They can get digital copies of the photos. Or, John can order prints of them. Some clients want John to make photo albums for them. Making an album can take many more weeks. John chooses and edits many photos. It is a lot of work. But albums help his clients recall their special days. John made this photo album for a bride and groom.2626page0026page0026.xhtmlJohn edits his clients' photos to make them look their best.2727page0027page0027.xhtmlBeing a Photographer Do you want to do what John does?
