Photography Skill
From TS3wiki
First attempts at Photography are often met with disaster with blurred images or fingers over the lens being a frequent hindrance for low skilled Sims. The value of photos can range from §1 to §1,250 so a Sim with a top skill and quality camera can rake in a small fortune from their new found hobby!
The photos that your Sim takes will be stored in their Journal in one of the 13 Collections (or in the Miscellaneous Collection if it doesn't fit). These Collections are outlined below but you can view your progress in the Skill Journal along with lots of stats your photography habits and monies earned.
The photo's that your Sim takes can be given names before being framed and hung on the wall at home. Your Sims can then reminisce about their adventures by viewing them. Alternatively, sell them all off. Any of these interactions can be performed by clicking on the camera object in the Sim's inventory.
