Photojournalism
“The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation.”
-Susan Meiselas, Photographer
Something to think about…
You don’t know the power you hold until you have a camera strap around your neck.
Photojournalism is an important cog to the machine of media, as it expresses what words sometimes cannot. Journalists have a duty to not only report to the present public but to document history accurately, and photos are frozen moments in time to help accomplish this responsibility.
There are things seen behind a camera that cannot be perceived with the naked eye. The emotions of a person are more animated, their feelings spelled out in their body language and facial expressions. I hope through my photojournalism work, I am able to encapsulate that perspective and contribute to recording the human condition with integrity.
