I never have to wait long before I get an email or message on social media asking for advice on how to make it as a professional wildlife photographer. It’s an incredibly popular pastime, and it’s no surprise therefore that everyone is keen to make money and build a career behind the camera.
Lots of people 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. That’s not to say it’ll never happen, but emailing Nat Geo for a job is not going to work. Instead, start your career as a wildlife photographer by working for yourself. Most photographers and film-makers in the world work freelance, rather than as employees of a company.
