I’m most interested in photojournalism because it combines storytelling with impactful, real-world documentation

Photojournalists are responsible for capturing compelling images that accurately document news events, editing photos for publication, and often collaborating with writers to tell complete visual stories.

In New York City, the average salary for a photojournalist is around $45,000 to $65,000 per year, depending on experience and the employer. Freelancers may earn more or less based on assignments and contracts.

I’m drawn to photojournalism because it allows me to capture real-life moments that can inform, inspire, and create social change.

A bachelor’s degree in photography, journalism, or a related field is often preferred, along with a strong portfolio showcasing storytelling through images. Essential skills include technical proficiency with cameras and editing software, an eye for composition, and the ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines.

White balance is a term that is thrown around in the world of photography, yet it’s unfortunate that lots of photographers still don’t know how to explain it or understand it. Because the thing is if you want to capture a scene that people’s eyes perceive it, then white balance should be on your radar. Mastering white balance, both during the shoot and in post-processing can be the thing to more natural-looking photos.
