hey guys today I'm going to talk about
how you can get your photos published in
a newspaper or a magazine I've been
doing photography for just about six
years or so and every so often I get one
of my photos published in a newspaper or
a magazine this looks great on a resume
but before I tell you how I did it make
sure you subscribe to my channel so you
can stay up to date with my latest
videos on photography travel & Drums
seriously I'd like to think I put out
pretty cool stuff alright so how to get
your photos into a newspaper or magazine
number one write or blog for them and
take your own photos I studied
journalism in college and I spent many
years ready for different blogs
newspapers online publications print
publication and at some point I bought
myself a camera and started taking my
own pictures so every time I submitted a
new article or a blog post I sent my own
pictures as well as a result I've gotten
my photos end up in places like USA
Today on national Geographics online
blog on The Huffington Post and in a
number of other newspapers and magazines
both online and offline
number two freelance for them a lot of
publications rely on freelance
photographers to get the images that
they need sometimes there will be job
postings for freelance photographers and
other times you might just want to
contact the publication and see if they
have a need for a freelancer this
however might be a little difficult if
you have a full-time job because you
might not have as
availability basically if you have a lot
of time to cover newsworthy events this
might be something that you want to look
into number three upload images to stock
photography websites an easy way to get
your photos into a news publication is
by opening an account on a stock
photography website and uploading photos
consistently especially newsworthy
photos personally I've had really great
success on shutter stock and many of the
images that I upload there are used by
news websites I've noticed that Business
Insider in particular downloads my
images quite often and I find them by
simply googling myself I have another
video up here on YouTube that talks
about how to become successful on
Shutterstock so be sure to check out
that video I'm going to link to it in
the description below but basically what
you want to do is try to cover
newsworthy events like protests marches
speeches and gather stock footage that
is newsworthy at any given moment this
could be a photo of a store that is in
the news for corruption or it could be a
photo of the NRA headquarters during a
gun legislation debate it could
literally be anything that is relevant
just be sure to upload your photos as
fast as possible number four
email or tweet photos directly at the
publication if you're passing by a fire
a crime scene or you're in the midst of
a historic storm take some quality
photos and send them to your local
newspaper
you can either tweet these photos
directly at the paper or email them
there's a high chance that these photos
are going to be extremely valuable to
them because they might not have had
their own reporter there at that moment
or you might have a unique perspective
that they don't have even if you just
have one photo of yours in a newspaper
or a magazine it looks
pretty awesome on our resume so
hopefully these tips will spark some
ideas for how you can get your photos
into a publication thank you so much for
