As a NCTJ trained press photographer it's my responsibility to take photographs that record news, current events and lifestyle stories. The aim is to capture the best images which document an event, tell a story or convey a message and support the printed word. The pictures are then reproduced in newspapers, magazines and online. Working as a press photographer, I specialise in any number of areas, including:• Sport• Lifestyle• News• Current events• EntertainmentPress photography requires a combination of intuition, creativity and technical skills. I would work closely with other people concerned with the story, such as journalists and picture editors, and agree the photographic requirements for a story.Other responsibilities included:• The photographing of events or personalities and note details for photographic captions.• Add relevant keywords to image files for picture libraries so the images can be recognised in search engines.• Ensure all pictures are appropriate, processed, catalogued and ready in time to meet deadlines.• Prepare and send digital photographs for newspaper publication to deadline.• Handling of arrangements such as timing, transport and access to restricted areas, venues and events.• Maintain photographic and electronic communications equipment.These are the skills I now carry forward into my own freelance photographic work.

I started my working life at Forbuoys, firstly by being a paperboy for the branch whilst still at school. Then when I became old enough I started working weekends behind the counter before being promoted to store supervisor and finally store manager. The branch was sold to a private buyer in 2007 and I was asked to take over a much larger store as a result of improving the shops' operations and profits. The branch went from being the worst branch in our area, to the third best (out of 21). *On a separate note the branch and I were subjected to an armed robbery in 2007. I controlled the situation to keep my staff and customers safe and calm, despite being attacked myself. The police later caught and sentenced some of the men involved.Key points:I worked as a paperboy before working weekends, being asked to work part time and then being promoted to store supervisor and finally store manager.  Improving the shops' operations and profits.
