Companies/clients

1 LA Times- Client

For the LA Times I would be consider a client because there are only a few photographers that actually get hired full time. I would be able to travel to different countries and photograph there life. I would also me able to photograph there struggle. Would then come back from my “tour” with information about other cultures and people and then I or a designated writer would write a story on those people.

2 Washington post- Client

It would basically be the same situation but instead of going to other countries i would stay in Washington D.C. and take political pictures. I would document political battles though photography. This means going to the white house or to political rallys. Would then come back from my “tour” with information are I or a writer would write a story about my experience.

3 NFL sports Photographer- Client

As an NFL sports photographer I would follow one team around for the season and take pictures at the games. I would then be in charge of the photos that are distributed to the teams social media team and PR teams. This is so the team i am following gets more expositor and followers maybe even fans what would spend money on posters or things of that nature.

How would I create a website —

Based on the research that I have done I would use my web site to mainly show case my work and what I'm really good at. If I was appealing to a photojournalist job then I would also show my writing skills. I would have a photography portfolio and a written portfolio. If I was trying to get the Sports photography job then I would show my photos from games and interviews of different players. I would show what I am really good at as well as the things i am working on to put in my skills bag.
