Photojournalism is a form of journalism that involves collection, editing and presentation of photos or images for a newspaper or a broadcast medium. The photos have a story to convey. Just like a pen, camera is also a tool of mass communication. A photojournalist uses the camera to communicate news or a story, just like a reporter uses his pen to write news for the newspaper or multimedia formats. Photojournalism as a descriptive term often implies the use of a certain bluntness of style or approach to image making. A photojournalist is different than a photographer clicking photos of a wedding or a fashion show. Even though his genre is similar to other categories of photography such as portraits, documentary etc., photojournalism is a separate discipline in itself. Just like in content, in pictures also there is a category for hard news as well for features. The difference does not lie in the working methods of the photojournalist but it lies in the topicality, meaning and angle at which a picture is shot. A photojournalist could be covering a war or capturing events in his home town. Wherever he is working, his job is to bear witness to events and capture them in a way which will evoke something in the viewer or reader. Ever thought how did a photographer of 1800’s evolve into a photojournalist of the present times? There are two major reasons behind this – technical innovations and the introduction of portable lights. From box camera to the mobile cameras the technology may have advanced but everyone cannot become a photojournalist. There’s a certain required skill set which not everyone posses – the ability to capture and frame great images under pressure, optimizing the exposure and other settings, as well as standing your ground and taking the shots even in dangerous situations.
