How do i get a job in photography with a magazine, I’m an experienced photographer.?
I specialize in action photography such as sports, concerts, and other events. i haven’t attended college and have a portfolio i just dont know the process of getting a job with a magazine?
Regular photo jobs a very few and very far in between. Your best bet is to go meet the photo editor – and that may take some work – and make a good impression. Make some post cards and promo materials and start sending them to the photo editors on mags you want to shoot for. Send a different image for a couple of months then call and try to get an appt for a portfolio review/chat. Then go in, dress well, bring 10-15 pieces of your very best work and smooze ’em. Also a website is absolutely necessary, put the address on the card and put more work there.
Freelance is the way of the photographer. Try to hook up with a writer or two and shoot images to accompany pieces they’re submitting. This is a great way to get in the door.
