professional wildlife photographer

When I was little, a professional wildlife photographer was a longing for me. Lots of young people also really want to work for companies like National Geographic. The thing is, there are very few who actually join the legendary organisation on full salaries – and those positions are pretty much already full.

Maybe start our career as a wildlife photographer by working for ourself. Most photographers and film-makers in the world work freelance, rather than as employees of a company.

In my opinion, there’s no real ‘requirement’ to class ourself as a professional in any field. In fact, even offering our services for payment surely puts us into this category.
One thing worth noting is that we have to shoot good pictures to be a professional. I must think about this really carefully.
