The photography career I am choosing to research is a photojournalist. I chose this career because it is all about visual storytelling. I love to tell stories but cannot always find the right words to justify the story. With photojournalism can use the pictures to tell the story for me. Also for christmas I got a journal to put my pictures in so this assignment fits right in.

A photojournalist takes pictures of newsworthy events. Usually a photojournalist has to take shots of dangerous elements including riots, storms, or dangerous animals. The photographer has to capture a picture that will make the viewer feel intense emotions to get them more invested into the story. The style of work they need to capture is journalistic. The normal salary for a photojournalist is around $39,885 a year. The education you need would be a bachelor's degree in photojournalism, photography, visual communications, or related field. Photojournalists can work in all kind of environments depending on the kind of company they work for. If they work for National Geographic, they would be more in the nature environment. If someone would work for New York Times, they would be more in the city areas. They can also work in suburban areas and at their own studio. Usually they would free lance and work from home but they can also work in an office to upload their shots.

Here are some examples of photos that photojournalists take.
