Not sure what you mean by "what is the trade" unless you're looking for a job title. If so, then I guess you can put down photographer. what do I do? I take pictures, and am trying to make a living at it. conditions-go out and take pictures, use the computer at home to put them on a web site, use a printer at home to make prints if I need to. training-formal training as in school can help, but really you have to learn how to work your camera, and learn about what makes a photo look this way or that, you have to be able to learn from your mistakes, and you have to just take pictures of things so you can see what needs to be improved. skills-good awareness, a little creativity, reading people, getting a good vibe on things. good sense of timing too. tools-a camera, lenses, lighting equipment, film, safety-there could be depending on what type of photography, or what/where your taking pictures. You get sent over seas to cover a civil war breakout, you could get blown up. You're a nature photographer, you could get charged by a hippo by a river bank. Shooting a football game, you could get run into by a player.
