Content Writers will also be involved with subcategory reviews and updates, produce creative articles and product announcements, and handle external requests for product updates.

Successful writers will know the differences between full-frame and APS-C, along with how to setup wireless flash systems, how to select a tripod head for bird photography, which lens to use for fashion photography, and input on the best bags for travel shooting.
