Let’s talk a little about how photojournalism has developed over the past fifty years. In the postwar period, there were only a few agencies in the world, and all reporting topics were mostly covered by American, and also by small German, English and French agencies. Many newspapers worked independently, hiring their own photographers. The most interesting situation was in England, which gave life to a completely unique style of work. British daily and weekly publications tended to work only with the best, most carefully selected photographers, “sending” them around the world. So, for example, Don McCullin appeared and a whole galaxy of agencies, such as Network, Katz Pictures, Camera Press, etc. appeared. A similar situation prevailed in the United States, the first country to correctly interpret copyright laws.

The first European photographers-freelancers were great romantics and very envied colleagues from the Anglo-Saxon part of the world, where the copyright rights were treated with respect.

Fortunately, in the late 1950s, a movement emerged spontaneously in Europe, uniting young photographers from different countries in an attempt to change the situation and establish new rules for the distribution of photos on the market. In the 60’s in the world of photojournalism, great changes took place, as a result of which the first basic rules of photo production and distribution were established, and the first attempt was made to cause respect for copyright.

The political riots of the 60’s and 70’s helped photojournalism, forming a new layer of so-called concerned photographers. Such photographers of the agency were given the opportunity to travel around the world, shoot at the “hot spots” and capture the history. So they contributed to the birth of a real school of photojournalists working on the scale of the entire planet, which exists to this day. Large orders of such editions as Time, Life, National Geographic, Newsweek, German Geo, Sunday Times, New York Times Magazine became milestones in the history of photojournalism. It was her golden age: at the same time in different parts of the world worked such masters as Anthony Suau, Christopher Morris, James Nauchtwey, Turnley brothers, photographers of the French agencies Sygma, Gamma and Sipa, as well as photojournalists from the newly formed English agencies.

The idea of the formation of agencies Gamma and Sygma belongs to the French photographer Hubert Henrotte. He wanted to create a cost-effective production and distribution network, which, selling photo essays around the world, could cover costs and produce a high-quality photographic product. In my opinion, he was one of the best directors in the history of the existence of photo agencies. The success of the Gammas and Sigma created by Enroth is due to the emergence of other smaller, more specialized and narrowly focused agencies.

Until the beginning of the 1980s such a scheme of work was preserved and was justified, as it helped to create many important and truly serious works. Photographers were eager to cooperate with these agencies, providing them, for their part, publications in the best publications. They were all reluctant to enter into direct contact with the magazines, as the work in the agencies enabled them to travel and be free. Their places in newspapers and magazines were taken by art directors, photo editors and editors-in-chief, whose task it was to select “pictures”. The problem is that these people are not always able to adequately assess this or that material.

At this stage, there were two ways of understanding photojournalism.

The essence of American photojournalism, as it is defined in American universities and specialized educational institutions, such as the International Photography Center (ICP) in New York, is to serve as “historical evidence”. From this point of view, the depiction of the event is social, historical, or simply a reflection of our daily life, is meant to be a kind of “testimony” and should create for us a visual image of history. For this reason, “evidence”, it turns out, often carries the burden of ethical responsibility, and this load can be too heavy for those who choose for themselves the path of “a photographer who captures history.” Therefore, a very small number of military photographers manage to translate this rather utopian mission justify their work. Photography as a direct and dry documentation of the event makes it obvious the photographer’s ability to catch the very essence of the event. In this, the difference between the Anglo-Saxon way of thinking and what constitutes the grain of European photography, which tends to reflect history is not so straightforward. This difference is reflected in the language itself. Anglo-Saxons are more synthetic by nature: to express the same idea they will need only a few words of a sonnet, and a Frenchman or an Italian on the same subject will write a verbose poem.

At the last photo festival in Perpignan, the death of photojournalism was once again proclaimed. Guru photos complained about the lack of work, the loss of many photo agencies of independence and their subordinate position in relation to the largest corporations, such as Corbis, Getty and Hachette, which in recent years have successfully carried out a campaign to acquire agencies themselves, and photo collections and image banks. At the moment, this three is quite able to influence the market and independently decide what exactly is worth publishing and what is not.

I do not think that photojournalism will die (we still need wonderful photos), but it is clear that it will radically change under the influence of the processes taking place in the agencies.

I would like to emphasize that when speaking about photojournalism, I mean all three of its components: news, reportage and documentary photography.

News photography is a daily survey of current events, whether local or international. Materials related to international events are supplied to the world market by agencies such as Reuters, AP and AFP, and local news is the prerogative of smaller and more specialized agencies or just beginning a career of free photographers (freelance). In this sector, the appearance of digital cameras very quickly and very seriously changed the situation. Many famous photographers today began their career with a news photo. Working with the news is a great school for a photojournalist. The daily need to shoot a wide variety of subjects – from criminal incidents and political events to world events – gives the photographer an excellent opportunity to show a quick reaction in composing the composition, a skill that is unlikely to develop in someone who has never worked with news.

On the other hand, the reportage is the same work with the news, but still stretched in time – an average of a week. This sub-genre of photojournalism is in an obvious crisis and still exists only thanks to some photographers-freelancers, the will of the case and small orders. The costs are quite high, and therefore this work is not very profitable, and the supply far exceeds the demand. In addition, in this genre there are not so many photographers offering high quality material, as well as easily changing topics and able to constantly live in crossings and flights from place to place. A good story is a story, and a photographer should be able to tell this story quite fascinatingly and brightly, without forgetting about the details, otherwise a rather general and boring photo essay will turn out.

Finally, we came to the subject of a documentary photograph. In fact, this is the same report, but no longer in a tight temporary and editorial framework. It is documentary photography that must survive, and it is she who, over time, can bring fame and money to the photographer. However, the photographer himself needs to know the market well, in order to be able to receive grants and awards, useful not only in terms of materiality, but also in terms of maintaining interest in the topics over which he works. In addition, the photographer must have a passion for work and be disciplined at the same time. A good, high-quality work devoted to an interesting topic can also contribute to the emergence of new niches in the market. New opportunities are opened by sponsors, humanitarian organizations, exhibitions, publishers of books and albums. Publishers are in constant search of materials and topics for books, catalogs and related exhibitions.

Modern digital technologies radically changed the photographic process – the process of image formation under the action of light energy. Revolutionary changes in the technical sphere led to radical transformations of everything that is connected with photography up to its aesthetic component. Technological progress has extraordinarily expanded the boundaries of what is possible in modern photography. The improvement of photographic equipment allows us to shoot more today, in better quality and in more difficult conditions. Permissible sensitivity in professional cameras makes it possible to shoot motion at night without using a flash, to do strong framing and just to experiment more. The development of adjacent devices (satellite phones, information transfer devices) allows news photographers to transmit information much more quickly. These opportunities, in turn, greatly changed the idea of what to consider as a temporary rule of delivery of photography to the consumer.

Computer technology opens up new horizons for photographic creativity, allowing you to achieve impressive results by correcting and converting images. Now there are opportunities to implement almost any creative idea, the photographer has become truly free in creating photography as a work of art. “A photojournalist is increasingly becoming an artist, and journalistic photography is an art.”

The widespread introduction of digital photographic technologies led to marked changes in the following aspects of photography, which had the most significant impact on photojournalism:

1) the photo has become truly popular – now in most cases, to take a picture, it is not necessary to know the exposure meter (the “smart” automatic camera will set the shutter speed and aperture itself), as it was in recent times, it is not necessary to know the basics of photographic chemistry process, be able to display film, know methods of projection and contact photo printing, own different ways of processing photo papers that optimize their quality, etc.;

2) the technical level of images obtained with the help of digital methods has been improved, as a result of the improvement of elements and units of photographic equipment, the computerization of cameras with the implementation of sophisticated and sophisticated automatic algorithms of “intra-camera” image processing, which allows to speak about the high “intellectualization” of modern cameras, marriage;

3) the probability of obtaining expressive staff increased even by an unskilled photographer, since in the absence of the need for additional financial expenses for film and chemical reagents for its processing, it became possible to shoot many frames for each plot (this is analogous to shooting from automatic weapons: even for the not very good shooter it is possible that one bullet from the long queue will fall into the target, unlike the situation when a highly trained and highly trained one is trained by a professional – “sniper shot”);

4) the methods of improving the photographs already taken and the correction of the marriage that occurred during the shooting progressed, by computer post-processing in graphic editors, which also became an important factor in obtaining high-tech photographs;

5) the creative possibilities of the photographer as the creator of a new reality (also thanks to computer image processing) expanded, which is evidenced by the widespread and unimaginable perfection of collages and photoarties that never before brought together photography and fine art;

6) the final representation of the photo has changed – photographs are increasingly viewed on the monitor screen and are being printed less often;

7) the quality of photographic printing has increased – thanks to digital printer wide format printing, not only the technical level of images has increased, but wide-format printing has become available and widespread (no one is surprised at color photographs of multimetric dimensions), it became possible to print a photo immediately with the elements of its design-frames, passepartout and etc.;

8) the speed of presentation of the finished photo has reached a whole new level – the picture is ready for use as soon as it is made and can be immediately sent to the editorial office or posted on the Internet thanks to the use of modern telecommunications facilities;

9) the photos became widely available due to the possibility of their distribution via the Internet – now it is enough to put pictures on the web, so that almost anyone could see them and if they want to use it.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to technological progress in photography – technical development is accompanied by a number of negative phenomena, often at first glance paradoxical.

Among the negative aspects of the transition from analogue to digital photography, you can specify the following:

1) a pronounced regression of the aesthetics of mass photography, the causes of which are multifaceted and will be briefly outlined below;

2) the fall in the average level of professionalism of photographers in general and photojournalists in particular;

3) wide distribution of low-quality photographs in the media in the media;

4) “dissolving” really good photos in a huge mass of medium and low-level imagery, especially when it comes to photos posted on the Global Network;

5) the rapid and wide spread of “fashion” to certain, often little artistic, technical and creative methods of shooting and processing images;

6) the problem of copyright protection for digital images due to the extraordinary ease of copying graphic files with full preservation of their quality (a printed photo to reproduce in its original quality is often almost impossible, especially if the original is reproduced in typographical way); a special role in the possible violation of the rights of authors on images is played by the Internet, since the photographs posted on the web can be easily used without the permission of their author or owner, and there are not reliable enough ways to protect against such unauthorized actions or control over the distribution of images (even introduced by stenographic methods digital watermarks with information about the author do not solve the problem).

All of the above negative aspects related to the transition to the “figure”, except for the latter, are more or less related to categories of expressiveness, artistry, aesthetic value, etc. Apart from this, there is the problem of protecting copyrights for digital images, the solution of which involves a whole range of measures, primarily legal and technical ones. Moreover, it can be said that raising the cultural level, morality, and reducing legal nihilism should also contribute to the task of protecting the rights of authors.

Among the factors contributing to the fact that low-quality photography is becoming more widespread, takes more and more dominant positions, it should be attributed:

1) the technical excellence of modern photographic equipment, creating the prerequisites for even a “user” who understands nothing in photography could, using automatic shooting modes, obtain technically good quality images;

2) a low average level of culture of the population, and hence amateur photographers, and part of professional photographers and photojournalists, which does not allow to adequately assess the quality of the photographs taken;

3) the wide penetration of the Internet into all spheres of our life, including photographic creativity;

4) exceptional possibilities of computer editing, which, if the author’s taste is not sufficient, lead to the appearance of pseudo-artistic photographs;

5) reduction of the rates of photo correspondents by the editions of a number of publications, primarily small regional and corporate ones, with the transfer of their functions to writing journalists.

Thus, the introduction of digital technologies has led to a number of negative consequences for photography in general and for photojournalism in particular. There are a number of factors that determine the increasingly widespread use of low-quality photographs, a drop in the level of photo-illustrations published in various publications.

It is necessary to emphasize the special role of photographs in the media – any edition largely determines the value orientations of the readership, among which the most important are the aesthetic guidelines. The deterioration of the quality of photo-illustrations contributes to the degradation of the taste of the readership, the reduction of the mass cultural level.

Within the ultimate post sequence for firing pictures correspondents and movie, we shall discuss what’s within the photo-shoot, mistake Inexperienced photographers, in addition to the benefits and drawbacks of pictures.

Image result for Photojournalists' common mistakes

Several great pictures may also express motion though we’re familiar with connect the motion with films. This doesn’t suggest the requirement to take activities, or vehicles, the image could be perhaps a particular motion made to stress the primary concept of the concept, or individuals, hovering to his friend throughout a discussion. The motion suggests that there are several modifications that affect one’s photos’ smoothness.

To locate and capture as soon as of symptom of the feelings of somebody isn’t simple, however it helps you to produce the absolute most significant images. The laughing’s picture, unhappiness with effect on the market, or weeping, stimulate a feeling of sympathy. Individuals have an all-natural need when others laugh to laugh, when others weep sobbing. This really is common when watching pictures people sympathy might happen. Images displaying feeling can help the market to experience it, but additionally to determine not just picture information.

Novice photographers that are errors

Team photographs: Actually one individual doesn’t usually work very well in the image of twenty people, and of course images. Picture isn’t the way that is easiest to exhibit the event’s size. That is phrases that are best appropriate.

Theme picture: this team contains conventional pictures of poses while you can get from your own market from keeping records, money bills, degrees, etc. and also the people in it to State just as much excitement. Search for shows of feeling: holes of satisfaction within his mother eyes.

The folks in the pc: a computer isn’t a genuine motion. Such pictures are rarely produce the impact that individuals are currently doing anything. Pcs are used in just about any occupation. It is like this display a guy having pen or a pencil at hand. You are able to place the pc within the chance, but-don’t allow it to be the graphic component that is main.

Images in one spot: if you like to powerful and reside images, you have to be living and powerful shooter. Additionally, the exact distance between the object and also you might rely on the way the length will appear like about the image, the lighting of the item might affect. Firing from miles and various perspectives, the probability increases the picture is likely to be great. Create the choice that is right.

There are of sending info, lots of ways . The picture isn’t ideal for all reasons. Occasionally you are able to better explain a meeting by utilizing post sound or movie. Ensure that you’re conscious of its benefits and drawbacks should you choose a photograph.

Benefits

Photography may be the least expensive way of graphic conversation. It’s cheaper and requires less period when compared with movie or cartoon. Additionally, it demands smaller levels of storage and less gear for keeping electronic info.

Photography is usually the way of conversation. You are able to take simple to prepare pictures on a single evening and images of fascinating occasions. It’s extremely difficult when utilizing movie.

One thousand words can be, replaced by pictures, completed right. Pictures can transfer really complex occasions which are difficult to explain with phrases.

Talk is not usually used by individuals for conversation. Explanation of nonverbal conversation through phrases might be one-sided and incorrect, while a photograph might seize nonverbal indicators, without contacting into query the journalist’s detachment.

Image result for Photojournalists' common mistakes

Drawbacks

It is sometimes challenging to join object’s words towards the picture. Movie is just an appropriate approach to creating conversation between the market and also a talk item.

When they come in framework pictures obtain more meaning. To signify this framework a photograph must be of sending info additional way. Wording and movie press are better in a position to occur by themselves.

Photography demands activity movement, and noticeable shows of feeling. It’s not ideal for conferences or seminars.

Won awards in photojournalism and media coach Frank folwell shared the secrets of how to capture the perfect shot. Reporters learned tips in Egypt for the course titled “the Use of digital tools in public service journalism”, which was organized by ICFJ Anywhere.

Image result for photo journalist

Here are some tips Falwell:

Memory and charging. Make sure your camera has enough storage memory and charged batteries for the lighting time of the event. Spare batteries (external power for iPhone) and memory card needed. Be prepared.

Get closer, fill the frame. Place the object to the foreground. Watch the background – make sure it improves the picture, not distracting.

What to include and what to remove. “What should I include in the composition? What is important to tell the story”? Think that should be removed from the frame. What’s distracting? Telephone poles, signs, cars. Compose so that they remained behind the scenes. There are exceptions. You might want to show a specific place through photography license plates or road signs. In this case, these objects can make a big difference.

The zoom lens. Learn the power of the lens. When shooting portraits, use a medium zoom. If you want to show the surroundings, use a wide-angle lens with the subject in the foreground. A telephoto lens can help fill the frame and remove items.

Delay shutter. When you press the shutter in most digital cameras have a delay, while the camera brings focus and when using the flash – waiting for charging. Control press the shutter half-heartedly, find focus. Then frame the picture and press the button to focus, to take a picture.

The requirement every day to keep relationships using the stories’ characters is just a large part of the photojournalist’s function. But become ready to comprehend where you can quit and to keep such relationships could be difficult. Writer of Geographic AMI Vitale and documentary movies has provided us an appointment via email on just how to develop such associations and distributed tips.

Are substance issues Used by you – for instance, provide the folks you take food to determine associations that are individual together?

Vitale: whenever you provide people cash or additional content issues, it produces the problems for unrealistic objectives and creates your connection more company. Really rigid guidelines are followed by qualified photojournalists, and also to spend people for that chance for someone or interviews to have an image is recognized as dishonest. Using the moral concepts established from push photographers’ National Organization can be obtained below.

In some instances, I provide perhaps a lunchtime to exhibit you that I regard the truth that they truly are losing their period or individuals a berry. But I never provide money or costly presents in trade for interviews. And that I usually return to people and provide them the images (should you guarantee to create images absolutely get it done).

To attain shared comprehension using the people you’ll be capturing, you need to regard it and also to consume the tradition. How the tradition can be taken within by a photojournalist? Must he follow this culture’s guidelines?

Employed in a traditional nation, I will use perhaps a burqa or a veil, if that’s the social tradition within this location. But I actually don’t fake to become somebody I’m not. For instance, I am not likely to fake that I’m certainly spiritual individual, and I’ll not reduce on my hair. Truthfully and overtly discuss the variations between people than attempting to fake that you simply have confidence in the same, whether it’s really not much better.

Do you consider the existence of attempting assist or to impede the photojournalist to create connection with people?

Before heading on an task the key would be to very well to understand their gear. In this instance, you’ll have the ability to concentrate on the associations using the people you’re currently shooting. Should you send tension or nervousness, individuals experience it and cannot relax whenever you obtain the camera.

What do you consider, does the sympathy to determine a relationship you take?

You have to keep in mind than it might appear that we’ve a lot more in keeping. Do not handle these folks as associates of the , unique globe that is diverse. More straightforward to concentrate on join and items that combine us.

The common truth that is stunning is a deeper glance, that, you are able to usually discover remarkably several parallels between us. Make use of the camera like an extension of one’s eyes, but additionally like a device to greatly help “increase” your center.

What’s particularly important whenever you keep in touch with people off to remember?

The institution of trustworthy and near interactions with people does take comprehension and time. I actually do not handle photography just being an experience. Though we’ve to determine remarkable issues, the actual miracle starts, whenever you provide oneself the full time to comprehend people and quit. Than attempting to observe around possible I’d would rather save money period in one single location. When capturing from the length, great pictures of individuals rarely get. Set aside and utilize this type of wide-angle lens like 24mm. You’ll come nearer to the folks, and your pictures will affect.

Conversation with recognized or visitors people could be demanding and challenging factor for many photographers. What would you do in such instances?

Hi do we simply nod, why I do want to create these images, I usually clarify why I arrived, or it is an official introduction.

I usually contact the neighborhood group leaders before you depart the home. Each neighborhood has its structure. If, before beginning, you take some time to describe why you’ve come and gain assistance from parents or commanders, it’ll assist all people of the neighborhood to comprehend why you arrived. Information moves much better, and quickly to obtain the acceptance of people that are important.
