Photography can be a powerful instrument for change, and photojournalists can tell stories that make a difference.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
Obviously I am a photographer and I believe in my medium: I do think that powerful photographs can force change. It doesn't take long to look and be engaged in a strong image whereas, with a story, you have to actually sit down and pause and be involved in it.
Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world.
The truth is, the difference between a studio photographer and a photojournalist is the same as the difference between a political cartoonist and an abstract painter; the only thing the two have in common is the blank page. The jobs entail different talents and different desires.
Photography has become a small world with so many jealous people. You do a story and then a lot of people try to do the same thing.
Photography must be integrated with the story.
Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you. In this way, you might discover who you are, and with a little luck, you might discover something much larger than yourself.
I just love photographing things and putting them together to tell a story.
I'm not as good a writer as I'd like to be; therefore, I like to use images to tell stories.
I've rarely seen portrayals of photojournalists that seem accurate.
