My Image of Photojournalism

  Photo By: Ed Clark When I saw this photograph for this photograph that Ed Clark made. I saw so much emotion just in one photo. Just by seeing the photo I knew it wasn't staged. When I saw the photo before reading I thought it was something very emotional that was happening in that area. He was playing the music and he couldn't hold his emotions out. According to Professor Nordell in his Photojournalism and Bias Part 1 video he said, "their was bias by a photographer trying to get a certain image and a certain emotion." This photo is bias because the photographer wasn't purposely trying to take the photo. Everything happened and he just took the photo. In The Free Dictionary it says that bias is "A preference or an inclination, especially one that inhibits impartial judgment." Texture- The texture in the photograph is the tear falling on the man's face. You see it is wet. Another texture is the instrument. You can feel the design on the instrument....

Being a photojournalist can definitely be a difficult job. Being a photojournalist isn't the easiest job in the world. You get an assignment to complete and cant return with it not being done. Some can be pretty easy and others can be really difficult and end up putting your life on the line. Photojournalist have take really emotional photos, or even heart stopping photos. They take photos of things instead of putting their camera down and taking action.  Photo by: Uknown This photo above is trying to raise awareness and some funds for the Rohingya Community on the occasion of International Human Rights Day 2017 on 10th December.

The photojournalist I choose to do a mini biography on is Ami Vitale. Ami was born and raised in Montana. She is now 49 years old. According to the website Famousbirthadys , "She started specializing in wildlife photography in 2009 after shooting several rhinos. She then started posting photos to her Instagram in October of 2013. She gained further attention when she won her first World Press Photo award that same year. She was listed on Instyle Magazine's list of fifty Badass Women which also included Jane Goodall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg." In the beginning she used photography as a way to meet new people, learn, and experience new culture. There is a quote that she says  "In the beginning, photography was my passport to meeting people, learning, and experiencing new cultures. Now it is more than just a passport. It’s a tool for creating awareness and understanding across cultures, communities, and countries; a tool to make sense of our commonalities in the world we ...

The issue I decided to do for my midterm project on is photojournalism and the demonstrations for racial justice. This has been a situation for a very long time. In the past there was slavery and people with different skin color would be abused and treated terribly. Now people are starting to stand up and fight for their rights. Photojournalists help us to the see the true colors behind these protests. There is nothing that is hidden and tweaked. These are things that are happening now at this moment. Photojournalism shows us truth not lies. The photos below are the photos I used for my Project.  Photo by  Dee Dwyer        Photo by Uknown Photo by Jonathan Bachman   Photo by Kriston Jae Bethel Photo by Kerem Yucel Photo by Uknown Photo by Joseph Blake Jr. Photo by Tara Pixley This is what I created below. I wanted to use a camera as if it was the photojournalist. Then the pictures that were taken. The photos that are taken has color to show that photo...

     The digital photographic technology that I researched is the mirrorless camera. "A mirrorless camera is a type of camera that works without a reflex mirror. Light passes through the lens directly to the digital sensor, which then displays your image on the camera’s LCD screen, allowing you to adjust settings and preview your image before its shot ." In the article, Digital Camera World it says, "Many of the latest and best mirrorless cameras offer more than just megapixels." The mirror was to bounce light but since the camera doesn't have a mirror it is exposed to light. The Benefits of this camera is that it is easy to carry around, higher shooting speed, silent mechanism, image stabilization, and electronic viewfinder. Photo by Phil Ryan      In Professor Nordell's video, Latest Updates With Photographic Technology and Photojournalism , he says that mirrorless cameras are “smaller, they’re lighter, they’re quieter.” These cameras will be g...

It is good that it is in black and white you can see all the details that you wouldn't really see in color. What feelings does the image create?: This image made me feel happy. I love the beach I love seeing little kids running, laughing, and just having fun. What really grabbed my attention was the people on the right walking in the water. I think I looked at this photo more than 8 times and just enjoying the background, the umbrellas, and the water. Texture: I see two different textures shiny and wet. That is the water and it bring the feeling of reality at least to me. There could also be some rough on the sand with the seaweed.  Why did I choose the image?: I chose this image because it caught my eye. It has a vintage look and it rem...
