Photojournalism as a Picture


Photo by Paul Sancya
I chose this image because when I think of photojournalism, I think of live news. When I think of live news, I think of strikes, boycotts, parades, etc. In this specific photograph, people are shown going on strike as a part of the Black Lives Matter movement. This fits my photojournalism ideation of strikes being captured and shared. These types of photos could later be shared online, on the news, in the newspaper, and on other various sites.

M10 - The Ethics of Photojournalism

Image
 A/F. Photo by: Nicole Audet 11/4/24 B. Personal Bias -  Personal bias refers to "learned beliefs, opinions, or attitudes that people are unaware of and often reinforce stereotypes. These personal biases are unintentional, automatic, and inbuilt, leading to incorrect judgments" ( Impactly ). Personal biases can be controversial towards ethics, photography, and photojournalism.  C. Personal biases are forms of opinions that can be seen through a photograph within photojournalism. The bias may or may not be obvious to the viewer. The photographer may or may not mean to show their own bias in said photo. Psychology Today explains that " A bias is a tendency, inclination, or prejudice toward or against something or someone". A prime example of this would be by only photographing democrats and no republicans. Another example would be photographing a protest you agree with from the protesting side.  D.  In my personal ethics map, I showcase the values I have such as...

Photo by David Butow This photo shows an example of what is  photojournalism. This photograph displays a verb and correlates with what is to be  considered photojournalism. This photo  is raw and captured with a lot of emotion  behind it. The subjects were not posed or  prepared for their photo to be taken; it was taken in the moment. Photo by Sergey Bidun This photo is not considered photojournalism. It  does not display a verb and is staged. The subject is clearly posed for this photograph to be taken.  This does not follow the photojournalistic  guidelines. This photo portrays a model simply getting her photo taken.

Photojournalism and Bias

Image
 A. Photo by: Ed Clark B. In this photograph,  I see a man playing the accordion while crying. The people in the background look upset as well. It seems as though they are at a funeral or some other sad event. The title suggests that someone is going home, likely referring to heaven. To me, this photo is beautiful. Everyone is coming together to honor and remember someone they care about. The man playing may be playing for the deceased. As someone who works in a nursing home, I attend a lot of funerals. It is always nice to see when someone plays music, especially if it is that person's favorite song. Unfortunately, I bet this photo sold a lot because it depicts bad news , and bad news tends to sell most.  C.  Black and white : This photo is black and white gives it a dreary saddened feeling. While the image was taken during a time when it could have been colored, keeping it black and white increases the impact it has on viewers. If it were to be more colorful, it wo...
