Photojournalism Assignment AKA:Documentary Photography Reportage photography Photo Essay

Documentary Photography Documentary photography usually refers to a type of professional photojournalism, but it may also be an amateur or student pursuit. professionalphotojournalism amateur The photographer attempts to produce truthful, objective, and usually candid photography of a particular subject, most often pictures of people. The pictures usually depict a certain perspective of the photographer.candid photography Usually such photographs are meant for publication, but are sometimes only for exhibition in an art gallery or other public forum. Sometimes an organisation or company will commission documentary photography of its activities, but the pictures will only be for its private archives.

Candid Photography Candid photography is photography that focuses on spontaneity rather than technique, on the immersion of a camera within events rather than focusing on setting up a staged situation or on preparing a complex camera and lights setup.

Candid Photography Candid photography is best described Un-posed and Unplanned. Immediate and Unobtrusive. Candid photography's setup includes a photographer who is there with the "subjects" to be photographed, close, and not hidden. People photographed on candid shoots either ignore or accept the close presence of the photographer's camera without posing.

Candid Photography Some professional photographers develop candid photography into an art form. Henri Cartier-Bresson might be considered the master of the art of candid photography, capturing the "decisive moment" in everyday life over a span of several decades.Henri Cartier-Bresson Arthur Fellig, better known as Weegee, was one of the great photographers to document life in the streets of New York to often capture life — and death — at their rawest edges.Arthur Fellig New York Almost all successful photographers in the field of candid photography master the art of making people relax and feel at ease around the camera, they master the art of blending in at parties, of finding acceptance despite an obvious intrusive element - the camera.

Arthur Fellig Weegee was the pseudonym of Arthur Fellig (June 12, 1899 – December 26, 1968), an American photographer and photojournalist, known for his stark black and white street photography.pseudonymJune December Americanphotographerphotojournaliststreet photography Weegee worked in New York as a press photographer, and he developed his signature style by following the city's emergency services and documenting their activity. Much of his work depicted unflinchingly realistic scenes of urban life, crime, injury and death.

Arthur Fellig

Henri Cartier-Bresson Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908 – 2004) was a French Photographer considered to be the father of modern ‘photojournalism’, an early adopter of 35mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the “street photography" or "real life reportage" style that has influenced generations of photographers that followed. “To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart. It's a way of life."

Suggested Titles A day in the life….. The Teenage angle… My Weekend…..Our Days…… My Eyes….. The View from in here…. My World……My Family Life…..

Take a photo every hour for a full day – wherever you are whatever you are doing i.e. brushing your teeth, bus stop, at shops, getting ready to go out……. Only take what is above and below you not straight ahead. Take images of what is directly below your feet, maybe including your feet. In bed, on the carpet, in park, with your friends in a group. Self portraits in mirrors, water, windows and reflective surfaces. Only take images of the people with you not yourself. (keep their identity hidden by taking them whilst they are facing away or just their hands

Hints and Tips Keep your flash off unless you are shooting at night or in very low light. Experiment with different shutter speeds to capture blur and motion. Always look for a different angle, unusual and quirky angles can work well when telling a story. Crop compositions very tightly

Quality – Are the compositions, focus and lighting appropriate for the images? Accuracy – Do you have at least the minimum amount of images and is the submission on time?
