Photojournalism

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism which is surrounding the collection,editing and also and presentation of a public broadcast,This is done to  employ images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism.The objective of the photos is to be timeless,create a narrative and lastly create an objectivity and a conceptual though of why this image is of an importance. they need to be able to help communities and have an ability to connect with other people and be a sense of informative knowledgeable events.

photojournalism is very close to environmental portraiture and also candid photography.This is an ability to access information about important stories and a documentation of events surrounding your environment. This photography makes rigid ethical framework which demands that the work be both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms.

photojournalism started off by being inspired by war photography in order to create an accurate illusion of war and so represent to to others the suffering and potential to prevent these wars from occurring.Due to this there was a large expansion of photography which soon inspired the Golden age: This is often considered to be roughly the 1930s through the 1950s. It was made possible by the development of the compact commercial  camera in 1925 and so journalist true flexibility in taking pictures.

To me photojournalism is all about telling a story that emphasis a sense of importance and impact into the world,It needs to bring a message of importance and have a relevance to the audience and the time to which it was taken.

 

street photography

Street photography - street photography are photos that usually contain random incidents in public spaces with the focus normally on people and their behavior - sometimes people may not be present, yet photos can be taken of environments where human activity is evident and can be recorded. 
The photographs don't have to be on the street or in an urban environment, they can be anywhere for example Martin Parr has taken shots on the beach that still come under this category because of the nature of the photos. https://www.martinparr.com/recent-work/
Street photography is almost always candid yet candid photography isn't always street photography.
A candid photograph is when the subject does not pose for the camera.

Mary Ellen Mark

Is a well known street photographer,Her work is used in order to demonstrate a side of reality that is presented as the minority,so using her camera as a mode of inablment to show these people.

Her work can be descried as old and new,it is a modernization of historic journalism within her work but also a more outrageous twist to which she is accustomed.  Mary Ellen has been photographing on the streets of New York City since before she even lived in New York City—and she continues to.  The energy and variety of New York has always inspired Mary Ellen.  Her work is also seen within experimenting in different modes such as Polaroids or more set up celebrity shoots. Although she only shoots people who have somewhat political power or a message of leadership within their own work.

Before her fame as a photographer, In 1983 Mary Ellen met Tiny, a 13-year-old girl working as a prostitute on the streets of Seattle. This was the inspiration for her book and commentary that inspired her work for a further 30 more years. This demonstrates how her work was based off a story of people and some occasions this could be based upon suffering or a miscarriage of life that she wanted to change by exposing to the world.

Mary Ellen taught photography workshops for over 30 years.she discusses the main topics that she would distill in her workshops using examples of her work and also photographs by some of her students.Her work was always graphic and had a suitable message behind every each piece. Her work shows a continuous  explotment of different people,races and social classes within america at the time. As clearly seen all of her images are real and captured from inspiration within the streets.

to me her work is a clear exaggeration of the issues at the time and how it was important to exploit the minority and the issues living among everyone in new York. To me her work expresses and demonstrates Americas development and need for change within people.Each of her photos exploit a different conceptual concept of people within NYC .

My favorite image is seen below: 

I like this image due to all the possible reasons behind as to why it was taken. this image has an interesting  angle and composition to show a small youthful girl leaning on a masked persons shoulder,perhaps this is done to show how even the innocent are reliant upon masked and faked laws that portray a sense that they are helping and efficient but are nothing but the differ.

Street/Candid Photography

Street /Candid Photography

Street/Candid photography is a form of photography in which the subject that is being photographed is unaware that the photo is being taken and the encounter between the subject and the photographer is a chance encounter

Street Photography

Street photography can focus on people and their behavior in public, thereby also record people’s history. This motivation entails having also to navigate or negotiate changing expectations and laws of privacy, security and property. In this respect, the street photographer is similar to social documentary photographers or photojournalists who also work in public places, but with the aim of capturing newsworthy events; any of these photographers’ images may capture people and property visible within or from public places.

Candid Photography

Is a photography captured without creating a posed appearance the candid character of a photo is unrelated to the subject’s knowledge about or consent to the fact that photos are being taken and unrelated to the subject’s permission for further usage and distribution. The crucial factor is the actual absence of posing. However, if the subject is absolutely unaware of being photographed and does not even expect it.

what is street photohgy?

Street photography,  is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public it is used to focus on street behaviour and how people develop and act whiten their natural environment and daily journey, it has a long history to it being based off of development of time to capture the people with. the city as a way of developing change. what I like about street photography is how very picture tells a story and also presents each person in such a different dynamic.

what is candid photography ?

Although there is a difference between street and candid photography, it is usually subtle with most street photography being candid in nature but not all candid photography being classifiable as street photography. Street photography does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment  . whereas candid is a photograph captured without creating a posed appearance. This is achieved in many ways .peronsally candid photography  has so much accurate expression of happiness and or any emotion that is real and human that you are bale to couture

Environmental Portraits

In this shoot I focused on environmental portraits. I wanted to capture the calmness of a person's facial expression, in order to make an impact within the picture itself. When taking the shoot I tried to make sure that the subjects facial expression was expressionless, so that it could make the viewer interpret more about the person's personality themselves. I used a variety of subjects to really explore the different expression of different people, and which ones would impact the most from them all.
Once I had completed the shoot, I decided to try to limit the images down into my top ten photographs, from there it would allow me to decide which picture I found the most effective from the overall shoot. I chose the image that I thought had the biggest impact of all, so took into account the rule of thirds, symmetry and lighting. These were my results:
Once again I then decided to limit my top ten photographs into a top five. From these it would make it easier for me to figure out what I thought was the best image out of the entire shoot, by using software like Adobe Lightroom to edit my pictures and make each one stand out against the rest. These were my final results:

I chose this image because I loved how the subject was exactly on the middle line of the road. From this it created a look of symmetry within the picture, and with the trees and paths in the backdrop with the same composition, it to me made the picture aesthetically pleasing. What I also liked about the image was how the blue house in the background, in a way neutralized the image, and to me made it easy to look upon.
I chose this picture because I liked the expressionless face of the subject against a white plain backdrop. This to me created effect within, as the backdrop broke up to a messy brick wall on the right hand side, allows for more focus on the subject rather than what is around them, due to how the contrast on their face stands out from the exposed wall.
The reason I chose this image was because I loved the contrast between the overly exposed background and the darkness of the subjects clothes. This creates a dramatic effect, whilst highlighting the points I wished for the viewer to look upon, like the head up. I found that the character being centered slightly to the middle of the picture made it an overall aesthetically pleasing piece.
Finally I chose this image because I found that it captured the calmness and thoughtfulness, of the subjects face at a significant time in their life. This makes the image aesthetically pleasing because of how there is symmetry between the subjects face, and that of the birthday balloon, which cancel each other out making the picture very balanced. 
The reason I chose this image was because I really liked the contrast between the darkness of the backdrop of a bush, and the brightly colored outfit of the subject. This instantly draws the viewer's eye to the subject due to the clear definition between her clothes and the bush, whilst making it visually pleasing to the eye as the pattern of the bush behind is broken up.

FINAL IMAGE 

I chose this image as my final photograph, because I loved the look of thought upon the subjects face, and found that it told a lot about their past and personality. I found that the balloon and the subject's face being on either side of the image, in a way cancelled each other out, making the overall piece aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The fact that the subject was not centered in the middle of the screen, and made more way to the backdrop behind her, allowed the viewer a bit more of an insight into the life of the subject as a whole. Finally what I thought made the image most effective was that the birthday balloon allows a bit of an view into what the subject may be thinking about in their previous years, and everything they have seen, creating a perspective which is joyful, yet saddens the viewer.
