If you want to be a press photographer, then Reuters is the agency to join. It's not easy, though, as it's tough getting in and even tougher staying in. The international picture agency only takes on the best in the business, so if you think you could press Reuters' button take a look at the latest book from its picture desk. There are more than 350 images from 200 photographers working in 70 countries that will inspire you to reach the highest levels. It is often images from war zones that capture the imagination of wannabe press photographers, but world news is more than just trouble spots. You need an eye for a picture in any situation, compassion for the more sensitive stories, quick reactions to get the shot in the bag and a sense of humour to survive. If you're up for it then give it a go, because once you are in you'll never want to get out.
