Teaching wildlife photography to small groups all over the world. Being paid to help people improve their photography while having the oppertunity to take my own pictures as well. Extra emphasis with getting to know the caretakers of tractable animals in the various locations. (tractable animals are wild animals that are used to being around people)

I do it locally at the Edmonton Zoo, for two month of the year but my idea job would have me do it around the world helping people, with enough time to take my own pictures. (oh and see, touch, admire the various exotic species around the world)

I'm a little different here in that I've actually been employed at my photography dream jobs; I've been an architectural photographer and traveled all over America doing that, and I've taught photography as well.

I'd love to give seminars in landscape photography as a sideline to my retirement.

sure you could! it just takes time, commitment, passion, and the ability to see the big picture.

and it is absolutely a dream job. i've NEVER done anything in my life (workwise) as rewarding as what i'm doing now.

I don't think I would ever want a photography job, dream or otherwise. I love it too much to make it my livelihood (that, and I suck). I have this suspicion that the moment it becomes something I have to do instead of something I want to do, the joy would be gone forever.

Assuming I had the skills I would love to do travel photography full-time. Of course, that'd mean the best equipment and a few 'caddies' to carry it all. :-)

nat geo, of course. who wouldnt want that opportunity?

outdoor/adventure/wilderness photography is my cup o' tea. any job that allowed me to focus on those areas would make me a very happy man.

working for a snowboard magazine/production company would also be a dream come true.

I second NG. Now, that's a dream job!

without a doubt it would be live music. Whether it be for a music publication or covering festivals. The atmosphere is electric and it is never the same. I have shot a few so far and they are by far the best thing in my mind!

hey terje, I don't know why you AREN'T working for National Geographic!! Your photos are great!!
My cousin and his wife used to work for them tho.
They did a great photo story on Moammar Kadafi It was wonderful....he got this wonderful shot of him sitting on a sand dune at sunset.

Once I pay back my parents for four years of computer science schooling and then some I'm going to pack everything up and go to Africa or Sudan or something and shoot pictures of starving, diseased children to send back in order to guilt-trip well-off, upper middle class white housewives :)

Yes, it is quite a rewarding job. My education is in Journalism and I worked for several local papers during my career as photographer, reporter and photography editor, even some advertising work --- and I'm legally blind. :-)

There is nothing extremely hard about photojournalism. Take the basics of photography and combine them with a sense of "relevancy" (for lack of better word) and you can produce amazing shots that intrigue many.

Any one that I could live off of comfortably. That is, a nice car, good apartment, and enough left over to save a few thousand a year.
