PHOTOGRAPHY-EARN MONEY-PHOTO-JOURNALISM


Clicking,clicking......why do not try to monetyse ur hobby....there is vast field of photojournalism and ensure a continuous source of income.

Is press photography and photo-journalism same?.....nay....press photography is a fire-brigade type of operation where u hear of the event or directed by the photo-editor of the concerned newspaper and rush to the scene with ur camera.....Whereas the P-J is a leisurely operation.....A press photographer must get his photos somehow with no emphasis on quality.....NEXT MORNING THE PEOPLE WAIT FOR HIS PHOTOGRAPH...so word ANYHOW...however, some more conscious ones manage with their colleagues and may attend other event....While in photo-journalism, the photographer has all the time to plan his strategy and produce the work of High Order.

For example, once i went to a football match with my friend press photographer to shoot from the press stand....While his attention was fully on the players and the ball to catch the best of photographs for his news paper, so he may rank high alongwith the reputation of the newspaper.....I took 2-3 shots of players with ball and turned to the masses with different shoutings, expressions, jumping, whistling, fighting etc. and grabbed some very off-beat shots................to continue......gshroti@in.com
