Journal Eight: National Geographic Photographers
Question: What are the pros and cons of being a photojournalist?
Answer: The pros of being a photojournalist are that you get to travel the world and do what most other people can't. You get to go to big events while they're underway, and have unrestricted access in most cases. You get the photograph the experiences of the world to it's fullest and capture moments that are bewildering to see in real life. You get up close and personal with things some people never get to experience in their lives.
Meanwhile, the traveling the world could also be a con. You're far from friends and family and they will sometimes not even be able to reach you dependent on where you are. You could be in danger depending on what you're photographing, such as wild animals or dangerous places. War photographers or even photographers just walking the streets of a third-world country are always in danger of being caught in the middle of something they're supposed to be a safe distance from. Running these risks is worth it, though, if you want to have the most amazing experiences of your life.
Question: What skills are needed to be a photojournalist?
Answer: You have to be able to deal with constant action and danger if you're a war photographer or something else along those lines. On the other hand, if you're a wildlife photographer you have to have patience and a steady hand to capture it just at the perfect moment. In a lot of cases, you must be brave if the job you're on is dangerous and you have to be able to adapt to situations quickly. You must take really good care of your equipment, because getting a malfunction an ocean away from home could be a problem.
