Excuse me, how to start if you want to be a sports photographer?

Do you mean a sports photographer or a reporter? What major did you graduate from?

If you want to become a journalist halfway, it is already difficult in theory, and it is even more difficult to be a special newspaper photographer. Not to throw cold water on you! Photographers in major newspapers only recruit corresponding professionals, but if they want to be sports photographers, they have to add body requirements. Because a friend happens to be a photographer in a newspaper, I know a little about it. As for the details, you have to know from the specialized agencies!

Another way to become a photojournalist is to start as a freelance photographer and make yourself famous. The newspaper will naturally contact you for a manuscript! However, there are many risks in this job, and the success rate is very small. It is possible to pay a great price for it, but I still get nothing!

But where there is a will, there is a way. I hope the landlord's wish can come true one day!

It is not clear whether there is such training for foreigners. In China, according to my practice, professional colleges have been dismissed. This kind of training seems to be rare. One more thing, sports photographers are generally demanding, and they generally need to have certain work experience before they can be sent to be sports photographers. Being a sports photojournalist will be harder than being an ordinary photojournalist. You should be mentally prepared at that level.

If you really make up your mind to do this major, I believe anything is possible as long as you are willing to work hard. Wish you success again.

I'm glad to see this ambition. Sports photography is extremely demanding. You must have enough physical strength, skilled skills and a good understanding of the project. Of course, excellent journalists also have noble professional ethics. Take a passage from a photography textbook in Britain: 1, and always have enough film around. 2. If the lens is important, you have to exchange it with your life. Great career, I wish you success.
