Photo Journalism

Question: Are the paparazzi professional journalist? Why or why not?

I do think they are journalists, however I do not think they are professional. Most of what the paparazzi comes up with is false or rumored, and the purpose is to get a rise out of people or keep them interested in their gossip triangles. I believe they have great photography skill, just not professionalism.

False light is when a persons privacy is breached by a photo or work, which is published without the knowledge of whether it is true or false. An example would be if someone were to take a picture of a celebrity looking like they were smoking, they would distort the photo by showing cigarette butts on the ground next to them.

Graphic photo journalism is using images that are distracting from texts to get a reader's attention to tell the story. An example would be someone using a picture of a battered rape victim to talk about rape, or give news about rape.

Journalistic standards are basically just standards that have to be kept in mind when doing it. Examples include privacy, respect for human rights, and accepting responsibility for your stories.

5 compositions/ fibanocci spiral


For this picture I used the framing composition. The bottom of the pillars creates a frame around the picture.
This picture uses the point of view composition. Instead of a straight on point of view, I used an areal point of view.

This one could either be considered symmetry and patterns because each bottle has the same pattern, and are all in line, but the one in front changes the symmetry of the bottles.

This is a crop photo. At first it was just a bowl of these white things, however, I cropped it to zoom on the top few that could be focused on.

This photo uses rule of thirds. The cart covering a pipe is in the bottom left corner of the photo grid.

This is the photo  that I originally chose for my fibanocci spiral. However, I couldn't download the program to put the spiral on the photo itself. The spiral would start at the tree, go down to the bench, then to the white pole, and back around.
