Andrew Katz, former Oswego student and cinema studies major with a minor in creative writing, is now a successful photographer at Lifetouch National School Studio.
“I take all the school pictures in the Rochester area,” he says. Katz enjoys his line of work and says his favorite part is the people he works with.
“I found the job on Craigslist, interestingly enough,” he says. “They are a billion dollar company.”
Katz adds that he does sometimes get frustrated working with children on a daily basis, taking photos of them.
“The preschoolers are cute but when you get to city schools they tend to act out,” he says. To combat this, Katz says if he ignores their comments, they take it more seriously and stop acting out.
Katz also used to work for Disney World, as a trainer for new cast members and a “showkeeper,” making sure the park looked presentable. Talk about a successful career so far, only two years after his graduation.
Katz says his dream job would be to work on a television show as a videographer or a director. Hopefully his career continues to be as successful as it has been so far!
