Can Art School Students Get Involved In Photojournalism?

By Michael Robert Peterson


When someone reports on various events, you would be safe to assume that he or she is a journalism. The idea of journalism is rooted in this very concept, as stories are written for a number of publications before being read by a number of people. Photojournalism is, more or less, the same but with more of a focus on photos than anything else. Art school students who have a penchant for photography should give this particular major some thought.

For those who have the goal of becoming photojournalists, you must know that many points are worthy of your interest. The most important, from what I have seen, is a strong understanding of photography and the various assets it contains. You want to make sure that photos are taken well and that the proper angles and methods are used to accomplish this. For those who are set on being photojournalists, this is probably one of the better places to begin.

Another way to become an effective photojournalist is to have the clearest understanding of timing. Specifically, you must know when, exactly, the best moment will present itself. That's when you can spring into action - figuratively, of course - and capture the right photo that go into your publication. Without this important element, you won't take strong pictures and you will not be able to improve your skills in the realm of photojournalism, either.

If you're going to go into photojournalism with better care, it's important to know about focus as well. Every shot that you take must be crisp and this element does not come from your camera alone, even though it has power behind it. You must also know about how lighting and distance can help to make seemingly strong shots much weaker in practice. It's in your ability to measure the aforementioned elements and work around them that will make you a better photojournalist.

If you keep these points in mind, there's no doubt that you stand a chance of excelling in photojournalism. This is the perfect subject for those who are not only passionate about photography but the conveyance of stories that people would like to get into. This can be brought into magazine publications, as stated earlier, or digital media. Photojournalism has its appeal and it's one that can attract a number of students in art school.
