"What I enjoy most about photography is the element of storytelling. Writers put their words on paper, painters make their images, but photographers capture reality. I personally feel like photography is more realistic than painting because you have an image of real life. And writing tries to convey life through words, but a photo is in itself a thousand words in one image. The story a photo tells changes depending on the setting, the characters, the angles. There's so much to convey through photos that doesn't happen in other mediums."

Employers ask this kind of question when they want to test your level of investment in the career field. Successful artists are passionate about their work. If you're passionate, there's something you enjoy beyond just doing the job. Answer this question successfully by highlighting what sort of spiritual, emotional, or physical need photography fulfills for you.

"I would say that photography grants an emotional need for me. I get very sentimental thinking about the past. Photos help capture those moments, permanently. If there's a moment I want to recall, I can pick up a photo, look at any notes I wrote on it, and reminisce. Working in the field of photography means I get to fulfill that need for others too."
