LJNRadio: I Want To Be A - Freelance Photographer (Pt. 1)

With a combination of art and storytelling, photographers find ways to speak without saying a word. Because many organizations are scaling back spending, staff photographers are diminishing, but the field of freelance work remains competitive. Amy Toensing is a photojournalist who has been a regular contributor to National Geographic Magazine for over a decade, and her work appears in a number of other major national publications. Amy tells Tim Muma about her path to success, the outlook for budding photographers, and what it truly takes to "make it" in this business. Children and even some adults fantasize about finding their dream job. Sometimes they don’t know what it is or how to get there. This show will walk our starry-eye job seekers through the reality of how to fulfill their life’s goal of becoming exactly what they want to do.
