Photojournalism
is a photography business where information is clear and objective, through the
photographic image, is essential. It can also be considered a specialization of
Journalism. Through photojournalism, photography can display all their ability
to transmit information. This information is transmitted by the framework
chosen by the photographer before the fact. In printed communications, such as
newspapers and magazines as well as the portals on the Internet, endorsement
information through photography is a constant. For me, being a photojournalist
is not an easy task, be willing to enter into conflict, get hurt or even die is
to few photographers. Although it is very interesting, this profession needs a
lot of knowledge of the region in conflict and courage. The conflict may be
between neighbors or even a war. No matter the size of the conflict, the danger
is imminent and take good pictures is important.
War or
conflict photography is photographic images of armed conflict and military life
in areas at war. Some photos can describe the terrors of the same alternated
with acts of sacrifice. Contrary to paint and war drawing images based on real
facts are not easily changed in the photographs. The photographers working in
this filed of photography are sometimes injured or killed by recording images
on the battlefield.
The most
prominent photojournalist war was Robert Capa. Stands out especially in his
work on the Spanish Civil War and the only existing images on the landing in
Normandy on Omaha Beach. Some of the films exposed by Capa that decisive battle
of World War II were poorly disclosed in the laboratory, losing invaluable war
photography images.
