Portrait photographers also cover the growing field of wedding photography. Only about 20 percent of all studios engage in both portrait and commercial photography. The market for each of these two types of studios continued to grow strongly. Audiovisual expenditures rose to a new high of $1.37 billion in 1969, with schools and business accounting for over half a billion dollars apiece. Over 26,000 photographic studios currently compete for this commercial market with about 6,000 corporate photo departments and even more . 1-. ? ? puviu^iapiiers employed tullor part-time by schools and companies.

The project is currently under review by c &t?4m growing affluence of the population and increasing acceptance of the photograph as an essential part of new life styles. The increase in the number of memorable events at which professional photographers are usually preferred - weddings. graduations. and births is another source of strength for the portrait photographer who does onsite photo work. School photography in particular has been an excellent source of business for the sfudios. An industry survey taken in 1970 showed that the high school senior market along was worth over $100 million, and at least 70 percent of ' all school children are photographed for class pictures every year. This business is not only profitable the average price of a portrait package for each photographed dlementary schoolchild was $4 - but serves as an excellent device for introducing the studio product to a large number of homes in the area. Follow-on contracts for school yearbooks are often quite lucrative. The volume of business available and the relative ease with which a photographer can acquire the necessary equipttipnf anH A^ ?

This characteristic of the photography business undoubtedly accounts for the considerable number'of minority-operated studios operating in larger cities and suggests that these studios have a natural * advantage in serving customers from their communities. While minority portrait studios are expected to capture at least some of * the extra business from increasingly m , ? prosperous minority households, there are fewer minority commercial studios that have . been able to complete successfully within the commercial market. Minorities moving towards the commercial market have usually done so after establishing themselves as portrait specialists, often using "affinity group" photography (church, social, recreational, civic) to obtain work in the wider business community. The market orientation of the industry encourages the location of the studio in an area that is easily accessible to its customers. Studios have usually been located either on the fringes of commercial areas serving the target community (portrait studios; or in downtown business districts (commercial studios). i i
