I'd love to take pictures for National Geographic or some sort of NGO/humanitarian organization. My degree is in history and international studies, and I've taken one photography class. I've travelled extensively and love both photography and travelling. Any recommendations for further education? How could I begin to market myself in this field?
Ok don't listen to the cracks about Walmart. Out a little research into it and find out how other people have got into doing it. Use the Internet to your advantage. Find out what classes and courses are needed and how to apply for Jobs working for different magazines or organizations. Try to network. Find other people in the business who know the ins and out and can help you get in and refer you. Maybe you could start doing stuff local until you go International. Best tip is to take pictures and submit them to magazines as many times as you can until you get noticed. |
