Press photographers take photos for newspapers or magazines to tell stories in pictures of news, current affairs, people and events
As a press photographer, you’ll take photographs to record news, current events and lifestyle stories. Your aim will be to capture the best images to document an event, tell a story or convey a message and support the printed word. The pictures are then reproduced in newspapers, magazines and online. Press photography is also known as editorial photography.
If you wish, you can develop your role into photojournalism. For this, you’ll need a flair for using both images and words to investigate and tell a story. Photojournalists often work for magazines rather than newspapers and can work on a project over a long period of time.
