Posers

Lyndey Brock

Reading about photography was actually very interesting. However, what I really enjoyed about the article was his final photo gallery he included. He included personanlity and depth in each photo, while still using a wide range of subjects. I loved how the other article compared photographers to hunters. It's so true, especially when you consider the paparazzi. It's as though people like Britney Spears is the only gazelle in a desert full of tigers. It's dangerous the amount of attention photographers, and journalists included, give to her. The point that the second article also made is to include follow ups in all your work. Good proof of this was seen in the photo of the sick woman, and then followed by a photo of her healthy and hugging her family member. I truly feel that photojournalists are an absolute necessity to every facet of journalism. Without them, our work would be blind.
