Writing/Photography careers?
December 22nd, 2011 by admin
Okay, so I thought I wanted to be a photojournalist…but turns out that there’s actually not much writing to it (well thats what I’ve heard atleast) Is that correct?
If yes, then what career would let me do writing more + photography?
Writting is not properly a university degree; you can choose phylology or literature. Writting skill develops while writting, same as photography one; you also can study photography. I think both marry well; some photojournalists write stories with their photographs; Walker Evans liked writting, but finally was a reknowned photographer, Lewis Carrol photographed and wrote Alice in Wanderland

Photojournalist is all about the pictures, but there is no reason you can’t take the pictures AND write the stories.

That’s correct, photo journalism is all about the photos. I suggest you do a major in journalism and a minor in photography.
Then you can combine the two and do your own thing (in theory).

The top of the litter, National Geographic, employs people who are either writers or photographers. They don’t pay an individual for both. However, lower tier publications that are on strapped budgets, especially those for non-profits, view a well-done photo essay as manna from heaven. Typically, they get photographic submissions OR they get article submissions. When this happens the burden and cost of getting photos for the article or copy for the photos falls to them.
