White balance is often ignored by most amateur photographers and just left on automatic. The reason we adjust white balance is to get the colors in your images as accurate as possible. Often the auto mode is good enough, but it can commonly get it wrong. You can set white balance manually, usually to:

☛ Tungsten - For indoor lighting, which cools down your photo.

☛ Fluorescent – For warming up your photo if under cool lighting.

☛ Cloudy – Tends to warm everything up.

☛ Flash – Warms up the cool light from your flash.

☛ Shade – This will warm things up slightly due to cooler light of the shade.

When you're responding to questions about what you did on the job, be prepared to share an actual example of a challenging situation at work, what the issue was, and how you helped resolve it.

A good photographer should be able to know when to use flash or when it is not suitable. Most cameras have a built in flash, but these are often restricting and only light the objects close to you.

If you can afford to purchase a flashgun, they offer so many more features and allow you to reflect the light off other surfaces such as ceilings and walls to get more natural light on a subject, rather than "hard light" from a built-in flash.

A megapixel is one million pixels, the more pixels in a picture the more detailed it should be. So theoretically the more megapixels in a camera, the better it should be. It is well known that most new photographers always set out to look for the highest number of megapixels for their money. But beware; an important feature is also the sensor size of the camera. For example, a 6 megapixel full frame SLR would most likely still take better photos than an 8 megapixel phone which would have a tiny sensor.

Wide angles lenses are simply a lens which can photograph a wide area. Landscape photographers might prefer this in order to capture large fields or mountains. A wide angle lens tends to be around 12mm-24mm. The disadvantage is that they don’t really double up as anything else.

Most rewarding part of being a video camera operator is able being creative.

Fisheye lenses take extremely wide hemispherical images, and are often used for panoramic photography or to make sport photography more interesting, for example skateboarding. Dedicated fisheye lenses are quite expensive and not very commonly used.

Working with less favourable condition and gears.

Questions about salary can be tricky, especially if you don't know what the job pays. One approach to answering this question is to say you're flexible, based upon the entire compensation package including benefits.

For photographers, you can make a great career for yourself with little to no formal training. In many cases, you should take a few photography courses to have a definitive measure of your capabilities, but on-the-job training can be just as valuable if not more so. When you reply to this inquiry, be honest and use relevant details. Take credit for what you taught yourself, but also give credit to your past mentors.

Why did you apply for this position? What do you find most interesting about the job and the organization? With this question, the employer wants to know why you think this job is a match for your career objectives.

A prime lens is simply a lens with a fixed distance, for example 50mm. These lenses are very fast and often have very low apertures. Most beginner’s have a negative view on prime lenses and think they are pointless compared to their 18-55mm kit lens.

The lens really depends on the situation, your budget, and your hobbies. Most cameras are pre packed with a standard 18-55mm or 18-80mm lens. For the average user these should be fine, but depending on what you like to shoot you might need a different lens. For example, a bird watcher would often need a telephoto lens in order to zoom right in to get a detailed picture.

With these kinds of photographer interview questions and answers, your interviewer wants to gain insight into what drives you to succeed. In your response, be as honest as you can. Feel free to share an anecdote regarding the first photograph to move you in a significant way or how you used to shoot film with a close friend or family member. Keep your story brief but take the time you need to completely answer the original question.

This question is designed to discover what type of leadership and management style works best for you. Be careful answering, and don't be too negative. Even if you had a terrible boss, how you speak about them can leave the interviewer wondering how you will speak about other supervisors if you didn't get along with them.
