photojournalism?



What is photojournalism? Well photojournalism is basically a journalist but without the real use of words. A photojournalist tells a story just like the journalist would but he or she will tell the, tell with pictures.  The life of a photojournalist isn’t as essay as it sound, to be able to tell an entire story from a couple of photos takes a lot of practice, luck and a man in the inside.  A photojournalist is more than just a simple photographer he or she has to think deeply about the meaning and possible meaning they can portray to the viewers. That’s the problem with photojournalism that the original meaning captured by the journalist can be changed completely by the viewer’s take and opinion of the picture.  A photojournalist takes much pride in know that there pictures are as raw as possible, there is practically no editing involved, unless the picture needs a little touch up. In the end a photojournalist wants nothing more than to create that Dramatic question that could or couldn’t change the viewers  way of thinking.
