Hi all
I just finished to read an article on June “News Photographer” by Nppa. The article “should i stay or should I Go” by Brian Mc Dermott was about a lot of journalist and photojournalist decided to leave the profession to change to other. About 73% between people left or want to leave the profession only in US. I think only in Us because the article was reporting a study by Ball State University professor Scott Reinardy. As I am with a foot in and one is coming out, because I am no more able to satisfy my family’s needs I’d like to ask you all LS, if you know what is the secret in going on in the photojournalism. Maybe I do something wrong, or I have something wrong. But How do other photographers to pay the bills? How do they pay their projects trips and accomodation? ( I know a lot of us use refugee fields as accomodation, me too). How do them to have their phones ringing? Is it true? we have to leave? What is the secret… This is the dilemma…
