Employers
Photo editors work for any organization that produces publications or online newsletters or has a Web site with many photos. This includes publishing houses, large corporations, Web site developers, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. A large percentage of photo editors also work for stock photo agencies, either as staff photographers or as freelancers.
Starting Out
Photo editors often start out as assistant photo editors, photographers, or staff writers. They have to gain experience in their area of work, whether it is magazine publishing or Web site development, to be able to choose the right photos for their projects.
