Abstract
Photojournalism is - making photographic stories out
of events and their impact on people.
First; you have to carry a camera . Second; go
where the action is . The great news pictures were
taken by people who made it their business to be where
things were happening.
Third; try to turn single pictures into multipicture
stories and to anticipate events in order to build up
such stories. Fourth; be critical of the results ;
applying the standards of the editor or advertising
man who buys pictures.
The photographer who does these things will be
practising photojournalism; whether he realizes it or
not .
