Document Summary
Time where the walls are collapsing among all media and creating new forms of journalism. A great photo will get someone to click on your story and interact with it. Photos tell stories- don"t need to just be background to a conventional news story. Hope for new life- warren richardson won the contest- a baby is handed under barbed wire across hungary-serbia border to man who is already on other side. Connecting with the people you photograph is about you, not the camera- make them know you"re grateful and that you"re trying to help. For assignment- use creative angles, get close ups. La joie de voir- the joy of seeing . The camera is an instrument that helps people see without a camera - A lot of photos don"t guide the viewer to what they are supposed to look at in the photo. Use natural lines to lead the eye into the focus e. g. bridge around them.
