We were AP brats in the 70's and learned from the best. Much has changed in the industry since then but the one thing that will never change...is passion. If you have it (be it for editing/shooting...or any profession for that matter)...you will succeed. As someone who has been on the "other side of the loupe," for 40 years, it still thrills me to find the gem in the box. Photo editors are treasure hunters...and I'll be digging in the sand until I'm six feet under it! PS: Terrific site Rob. Jim Colton Well said Maggie…my sister.

This has given me a very well-rounded career and if you hope to have longevity in this business, you should think about doing more than one thing in it.

And once you've compiled that grouping...show it to 3 or 4 people, including photographers, other picture editors, designers (sometimes these folks have more open opinions) and someone who is not in the photo world as this represents your audience.

Here's some advice to anyone interested in working in editorial photography: I have been a reporter/photographer (first job on a small paper), a picture editor at AP NYC, rising in the ranks, a photographer working mainly for magazines for MANY years and a regular contributor to NGM, a director of photography at the Miami Herald, and an educator. You know what really influenced me the most and something I think should be required whether you learn in school or on your own? THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY! This as much as looking at contemporary photography of all genres can prepare you to be a much better, even inspired picture editor. Photographers need good picture editors and they still are far and few between, as most people want to be shooters. Studying this history not only informs and makes reference in your own work but it prepares you to help others be better, to choose the most evocative pictures and maybe even to move on to curating. If you are American---LOOK AT EUROPEAN STORIES AND HOW THEY ARE SHOT AND EDITED because they are more open, more existential and fresher. And the final suggestion, no matter what you do with photography---if you don't ideas, fresh, innovative ideas or new innovatives ways to tell stories, find something else to do. ONE MORE THING: Can we throw that stupid line out, joke or not, about picture editors being failed photographers. Being a sometime picture editor has made my career longer, wider, richer, much more exciting and exihilirating. Well, excellent posting and I’m gonna repost it.

I've started out a blog just a couple of days ago entitled The Retoucher's Journal where I could open up and share things regarding my experiences, career and photo retouching updates. My degree is Industrial Technology major in Architectural Drafting which haven't led me into the same field rather I tried different non-related jobs until I was hired as a photo retoucher. I've been in photo retouching for almost 3 years, being employed in a multimedia studio for 2 years and now working as a freelance photo retoucher for quiet sometime specializing in real estate photos. I've earn my skills and develop an eye for "wow factor" images through my eagerness and willingness to learn, I really love my job. I do believe as they say that "if we love what we are doing we can do the most out of it". I am so happy to stumble upon your blog and read all the comments.

So what I do is to review the Pix I've designed before and try to make it more colorful and better. I think continuous look on a pix gives u an Insight of what to do next time.

If I had not shot for all those years and felt content with what I had produced I never could have made the switch successfully. Would have been too envious of those I assign, especially when they are my kind of shoots. It helps alot having been a photographer as I can relate to most shooters I hire and know exactly what they will be up against and what they try and get away with. I get it so much it makes me more critical but in the end, get better images. Having been a photographer in NYC for 25 years, it is a pleasure to sit on the other side of the desk as a photo editor.

I graduated from photoj school a few years ago and am now working as a photo researcher in the photo editing department at a national magazine, hopefully soon to move up to a photo editing position. I agree with a lot of your advice you give here except for the note that all photo editors are failed photojournalists... after I tried my hand at shooting for several years in school and at several newspaper internships, I decided it just wasn't for me and decided I wanted to take my skills and talent instead to photo editing. I've spoken with a lot of photo editors at my current job, many of whom ended up here for the same reason. You definitely need the eye for it, but not the lack of success. It's frustrating when there's a general assumption that you failed or gave up something better (photographing) to land in photo editing - this is a much better fit for me and I absolutely love it.

My question is this what if it is the opposite way around, what if a photo editor wanted to be a photographer, I edit photos on my spare time, I use two different photo editing software although I have been doing photo manipulations for I'd say almost three years. Granted there are somethings I still need to learn, but how does a person transition from a hobby to a job. Currently I am trying to get my creditentials in Visual Communications. So please feel free to contact me with any and all advice that you have. Thank you @Scott Dickerson,

And I am also a recent graduate who studied photography with the intention of a photo career "without the camera". I am glad to hear that you don't view yourself as a failed photographer!!
