I never really knew what photojournalism was until I read this presentation. It is very interesting to read how it creates a story through forms of a photograph. Finding out that photojournalism is connected to other branches of photography such as documentaries and celebrity photographs was interesting for me to read about also because it made me realize the true meaning behind what it did, and what the purpose of photojournalism is.
This presentation made me realize that there were actual rules that photojournalists have or should follow. It is fascinating to see that there is a list for those who manage the standards in their daily work. The ones that popped out to me were1) resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities. 2) Treat all subjects with respect and dignity. Give special consideration to vulnerable subjects and compassion to victims of crime or tragedy. Intrude on private moments of grief only when the public has an overriding and justifiable need to see and 3) do not accept gifts, favours or compensation from those who might seek to influence coverage.
I enjoyed reading about Photojournalist and how it provides a clear, easy to read, truthfully images to let the readers know. Also, I didn’t know that altering press photographs should not be edited, due to an impact to society. Reading about manipulation of photos and how it is strictly forbidden was interesting to read about also. Although, by reading this presentation it allowed to me read about post production work and how it is only allowed to focus on correcting colour problems, exposure etc.
This was a very interesting presentation that I read and I am glad that I took the time to read about it. Also, the pictures were great! This presentation was very well done. Congrats!!
