Actually Finkycake is completely right, I've worked incredibly hard to become a portrait photographer and when I read that the requirements to be a photographer for venture are customer service and sales with no previous photographic experience neccessary. It makes me kind of mad, especially when I hear the prices they charge for an 8x10, it's got to be atleast 500% higher than me! Oh and they pay their staff photographers just over £12,000 a year, hardly a lot for a profession reliant on training and talent
