3. The three elements of a great photograph are
light, composition and moment.
• Photo + Journalism : Take a picture in order to report an event
or to tell a story
• Differences with other photography (artistic and documentary
ones) :
• Timeliness/well-timed :
The image makes sense in the context of an event, in our time
• Narrative :
It shows facts relatable to a particular event and subject
• Obejectivity :
As a journalist, the photojournalist shows a fair representation of reality.
To moderate ?

4. KINDS OF PHOTOGRAPHY
• Photo assignments
• (General news is anything that is planned. A dinner party, a
fundraiser, a protest, a press conference, an award ceremony, a
tree planting, these are all types of general news assignments. Tell a
complete story with your images)
• Sports
• Sport news (Spot news is an unplanned event like a car accident or
fire )
• Portraits
• (show a person in their environment; looking directly at the camera
so the viewers know that it is a portrait; not doing anything, again
because the viewer should not be confused as to whether the
photo is a posed portrait or a real)
• The Photo Story

5. COMPOSITION

6. Emphasize the subject

7. Get closer to your subject

9. Apply the rule of thirds

11. Beware of the background

12. Background

13. Use selective focus

15. Change the camera angles

18. Leading lines

21. Frame

22. Level the horizon

23. Capture action

25. Ethics
• A photojournalist must never interfere with a situation.
• The manipulation of photos is also strictly forbidden.
• An Ethical Approach and Attitude
• Risk/Benefit Analysis (First, the photojournalist must determine
how a subject's story will benefit the public. Second, it should be
determined how the story will affect the subject personally)

26. Joe Rosenthal’s original Iwo Jima

27. Walski case

28. Walski Case
• In one frame, a British soldier is gesturing to a group of Iraqi
citizens to take cover because they were taking incoming fire. In
another frame, the same soldier is visible but not gesturing, and an
Iraqi man is standing while holding a child. Walski used computer
software to combine the two images so that it appears that the
soldier is telling the Iraqi man to “get down.”

32. Moving Objects
• The pyramids were moved closer
together to accommodate this
vertical National Geographic cover.
• - February 1982

33. Color Correction
• After submitting his stunning photos
of Haiti to a Danish photo contest,
Klavs Bo Christensen was asked to
submit the original RAW files as well.
The difference was remarkable and
the contest judges disqualified the
photos, calling them “extreme” and
“unacceptable.”
• Christensen admitted that he had
heavily processed the photos, but
maintained that the result was
within his limits.
• - April 2009

34. Exposure
• ISO ratings determine the image sensor’s sensitivity to light, each
value of the rating represents a “stop” of light, and each
incremental ISO number (up or down) represents a doubling or
halving of the sensor’s sensitivity to light.
• The Aperture controls the lens’ diaphragm, which controls the
amount of light traveling through the lens to the film plane. The
aperture setting is indicated by the f-number, whereas each f-
number represents a “stop” of light.
• The Shutter Speed indicates the speed in which the curtain opens
then closes, and each shutter speed value also represents a “stop”
of light. The shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second.

35. Exposure
• · how much light is in front of you - which can be changed by
adding lights or flash,
• · how sensitive the film is to light - called ISO (remember, I use the
word "film" to refer to whatever medium used for capturing the
image, whether it is the Digital Camera's sensor or actually film,)
• · the amount of light going through a lens - called the aperture,
• · how long the film is exposed - called the shutter speed.
• · what you want the image to look like, especially when light is
beside or behind the subject.

37. Shutter Speed
• Indicates how fast the curtains at the film plane open and close.
The shutter speed controls how long light enters the lens and hits
the image sensor or film plane.

39. Depth of field
• By changing the aperture in the lens, you can make the resulting
picture have more of the picture in focus from near to far, or you
can limit the picture's focus on one place.
• At ƒ1.8, the focus point will be much more defined with things in
front of and behind the subject becoming softer looking the further
from the subject they are. This is a very nice way to bring attention
to the subject.
• At ƒ22, the focus will seem to be sharp from very close to the
camera to pretty much infinity. This is great for giving a sense of the
place you shot the image, or for including many people in the image
and keeping everyone clearly in focus.

41. ISO Speed
• Indicates the specific light sensitivity.
• The lower the ISO rating, the less sensitive the image sensor is and
therefore the smoother the image, because there is less digital
noise in the image.
Digital noise is any light signal that does not originate from the
subject, and therefore creates random color in an image.
