Photography involves recording images on a photosensitive surface that can then be manipulated. The photographic industry consists of over 87,000 companies, with two-thirds being sole proprietors or freelance photographers and 91% employing 5 people or less. Two example companies are Paradigm Productions, which specializes in 3D architectural, interior, exterior, food, and lifestyle photography, and Out of the Deep Blue, which provides photography and design services.
