| Re: National Geographic Photographers Salary
Hey the National Geographic, formerly The National Geographic Magazine, is the official magazine of the National Geographic Society. It has been published continuously since its first issue in 1888, nine months after the Society itself was founded. National Geographic photographers are all independent contractors – that means that their contracts cover one story at a time. No contract, no work; no work, no paycheck. The editorial rate in the US is about $400-$500 per day. With having to cover your own equipment (easily running $10-20k), insurance and health costs... you aren't doing it for the money all NatGeo photographers are already very well established photographers in the "last third of their careers."    |
