what’s missing?
Slide7In my experience…
Advanced camera settings make it easy to take technically “good” photos
BUT…
They don’t teach students how to capture the
humanity
of a story
Slide8A good photo
must
:
tell me a story
get me thinking
trigger my emotions

Hierarchy of Image “Energy”
IntimateEmotionally appealingGraphically appealingInformational
Highest form of photojournalism. Difficult to describe,
but readers and photographers can “feel” the
intimacy of the situation.
Capture the right moment and force a reader to interact emotionally.Pictures are visually pretty and interesting to look at, but don’t connect to viewer’s emotionsLowest standard. Overall view of a news event.
