Still/ Set Photographer for Movies and Television
A movie still(s) photographer is a photographer who usually works on set but is not directly involved in the making of a film/movie. They are usually employed by the movie's publicity team to take photographs to help publicize the movie in posters, magazines, newspapers, and other media. The photographer will also take photos of the actors and sets separately, as well as some "behind the scenes" photos that are often found on DVD extras. He/she may also be required to take photos of the actors in a studio, possibly in their costumes. Sometimes these photos will be composited with several other images or artwork to make a new image that might be used in a poster, for example.
