My take on photojournalism

Conclusion Photojournalism was seen as nothing more than just uploading interesting artwork at the beginning of the semester. Now journalism is seen to me as whatever message the camera can create. If providing horrific, gory pictures of humans before, during and after the war is in photographs it will provide emotions only seen on the battlefield. When journalist capture images of starving children in the world suffering from male nourishment and harsh living environments, at the beginning of the semester I would planning believe that the journalist was just working for a paycheck but matter of fact they are trying to provide a shot that screams “HELP” at the top of their lungs for the many men, women, and children in need. For example my Classmate Leah Przybyszewski provided shocking images of famine and there large effect on small organizations like the ones in this photo.

Ruddy Roye Ruddy Roye Radcliffe Roye (b. 1969) is a Jamaican born photographer living in Brooklyn who is a photojournalist that documents many editorial environmental shots for photojournalism. He worked out of himself and brought others along by his side throughout his own work. His work is displayed as emotional photography that allows viewers their own perspective on figuring out what the photo allows them to believe throughout his work.  He gains feedback through his artwork he allows viewing to the public and the opinion based criticism.  The current era of the African American stereotype has currently been in this era and past eras throughout time.

But Roye's area is in the possession of motivating photography that brings new and exposed media to the front line of the news industry. His profession in photojournalism allowed others to see the pe...

Ruddy Roye Photo by: Rudy Roye Rudy Roye represents himself as a whole in a community and is motivated by the ability to have capabilities of taking a photo when no one else can. As he states “ I shoot because I see. I shoot because if I don’t, I don’t know who will. ” He finds motivation in finding and capturing photos that if weren't taken, would never exist and maybe never of made a difference in the world. My motivations compare to this in the sense that, I will help someone in need no matter the situation knowing that I would be doing it as if no one was watching. No one would be there to capture the moment of assistance I have given for publicity rights. Like Stacy Pearsall states when she was in the army “ I did not want to accept defeat, I have been fighting my whole career ” she was seen as less developed being a female in the war capturing war photography. No longer would either one of these photojournalists stay quiet and provide nothing less than the other pe...

Photo by Ed Clark  Image Source: http://www.historybyzim.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/FDR-Funeral-Musician.jpg Words may strive to appeal to the logical portion of our minds. But the images captured by photojournalists, often take hold of our hearts and reach us on a more primal emotional level. Stated by Bettye Lane. In this image, I see a group of people saddened by what I assume is the death of FDR, one of the most loved presidents in a generation. I also see the love and compassion not only coming from peers that were involved with that specific person but also workers, musicians, and artists. I interpret the image in a way that provides deep sorrow for a strongly loved individual that made the most of an impact on the men and women around them. This photo means plenty of things and can be interpreted in many positive and negative ways but mainly this photo should be seen as, how people react when losing someone they have loved endlessly. ...
