How important is taking chemistry in school to become a photographer? - Dorlas - 01-25-2011
I was wondering. I was given the choice to take chemistry or take physics next year. I would rather take physics, however should I take chemistry so that I could become a photographer when I grow up? How important is chemistry in photography? Would chemistry help my career?

Doubtful. Especially in the digital realm. I'm studying photography and I've never even had to take a science class (at least since graduating from high school). It might be helpful if you want to create concoctions in the dark room, but I doubt even then it's very important, or even helpful.

Physics is probably better, there is the optics section which would relate to your fireld of interest. However if you are not going to be a digital photographer, you may want to take one chemistry class.
