How to become a freelance photo editor?

To become a freelance photo editor, you need to have several qualifications, including advanced training and skills in photography and editing, as well as professional experience in the photo industry. A high school diploma or G.E.D. certificate is typically required. It’s recommended to study photography at a community college, art school, or university, although a bachelor’s degree is not always necessary to get contract work. More importantly, you should have an excellent grasp of photo editing software and equipment. Many freelancers start at agencies and then work on their own after building up contacts in the industry. As a contract worker, it is a good idea to have a digital portfolio of work to show prospective clients.
