FOR THOSE GOING TO FRANCE...





Your task is to take us on a photographic adventure of your travels. This is a photojournalism assignment. Your task is to "sell" us on French travels.

photojournalism:

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by the qualities of:

  • Timeliness — the images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events.
  • Objectivity — the situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone.
  • Narrative — the images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to the viewer or reader on a cultural level.


You will need to shoot a variety of images that all have some commonalities (composition, colors, angles, styles, etc so they fit as a group). Your images must include:
  • one 5+ image photomerge panoramic
  • 2 amazing candid images (Candid photography is best described as un-posed and unplanned, immediate and unobtrusive)
  • 2 posed portraits with context in the BG (not a snapshot)
  • 4 landscape or architectural images (setting the scene, where are you?)
  • 2 abstract or still life images
  • a total of 50+ images from your travels for a contact sheet.
