What is photojournalism? We all see the results of photojournalism daily with our newspapers, news magazines, and Internet searches. However, a defining photojournalism is difficult for many people. Photojournalism is not just "taking news pictures." Photojournalism doesn't mean you are employed by a specific newspaper or working in a war zone. Photojournalism, but simply, is about capturing verbs.
This doesn't mean simply taking an action photo. Communicating the verb is much more than that. "Normal" photography is a mix of nouns and verbs. Stories are captured in slices while photojournalism strives to convey what is happening in one shot.
Although it is great when it happens, photojournalism isn't about the best composition, or the best technical details, or a pretty subject.
Photojournalism is about showing the world a story of something that really happened. Bearing witness is a phrase that comes to mind in regards to photojournalism. Photojournalism allows the world to see through your eyes for just a moment. When photojournalism is done right that one moment conveys volumes of time. Conveying the full story is why
we get genres such as environmental portraiture where the setting tells us as much about the subject as the subject themselves.
Another vitally important part of photojournalism is accuracy. This means what is in the frame is what happened.
The photojournalist is ethically bound (while many fall short of this ideal) not to change the story. Power lines shouldn't be cloned out.
More smoke must not be added to a fire scene. The image should be a window into the event. At most, lighten the shadows a touch to see faces or sharpen the image a bit for clarity but do not change the essence of what you capture in the photo or you change the story.
Drawing can be loosely defined as mark-making on a flat surface. Usually, the mark-making device is a pencil and the flat surface is a sheet of paper, but many other combinations of tools and surfaces are possible. As such, sometimes it is hard to categorize a work as drawing as opposed to some other kind of art, such as painting, printmaking, digital media, or sculpture, which often incorporate mark making. when you draw for your drawing to look like someone else's drawing, then you are not a capable artist,draw for your drawing tp look like your drawing not someone else's.
Learning to draw is considered fundamental to learning to produce other forms of visual art. Not only are the skills acquired through drawing useful, but a sketch is frequently the first step in producing new artwork. Drawing is also popular because the necessary materials are cheap and widely available and because the drawing process is fast, direct, and can be done almost anywhere. Drawing is also very revealing as to an artist's ability - his or her understanding of form, grasp of visual poetry, and artistic vision. Master drawings are exquisite, breathtaking, and tell us more about the mind of the artist than a highly polished, fully rendered painting.
