Becoming a Photographer : How to Become a Photojournalist

[guitarg0d7007]

Can you use video cameras for photojournalism? I spoke to one of the camera men that work of Cops, and he said I should try get into photojournalism. That's how he says most of the cameramen get into the buisness

A photojournalist does not really need studio lights like shows and he says, a small strobe may be but most photojournalist prefer available light. and Yes, you also dont need a high end camera but most of us, photojournalist, do prefer prime lens and they tent to cost a bit more but it's a matter of style and preference and not a mandatory thing

photojournalists do not have to have a pro grade camera mid grade camera is fine i am a photojournalist and newspaper editor and the papers highest end camera is a d40 i shoot with a d90 but still and i dont have a high end flash i have a sb-600 so this is a little inaacurate and also with the high end camera the quality is usually lower in the paper thanks for the video though
