I am a photographer. I am 18 years old today. I want to be a photojournalist. What should I do?

You're a photographer. What kind of photography do you do? Portrait or landscape, static or dynamic? I have a classmate who is now a reporter and takes a camera with him every day in case he misses some shots. But photographers are very different from ordinary photographers. Sometimes they don't have to shoot the beauty of the subject, but they have to be true and clear, but sometimes they have to be magnificent. For example, some big scenes, leaders and the like must be atmospheric. These all need to be honed later.

You are only 18 years old. I don't know what you mean by this photographer. After graduating from junior high school, I learned some photography, and then I went to a photo studio or something. What are the basic skills?

If there is an opportunity, you'd better go to the newspaper to find the relevant person in charge yourself. Your education has no advantage, that is, the real technology has an advantage.

Don't worry about this, but newspapers don't usually say that to photographers. They are newspaper photographers or documentary reporters. A photographer can shoot a card machine) is of high standard. Take your time first ~ Good luck
