There are also software that are used to edit images which a professional should be aware of and knows how to use. With technology expanding each day it is necessary to keep up with the trend so as not lose the market.

Patience and flexibility are important virtues of skilled photojournalists. As it is nature, plans may not always come to completion, for instance, one minute it could be sunny, and the next can be cloudy and rainy. You could even have a client that is closed to reason. A professional will be patient enough when everything is not going as they had planned and will also come up with another idea to get the work done or will even take advantage of the bad situation to give a positive result.
