Photojournalism: An Ethical Approach

`Helewidis:iconHelewidis: reports, January 10
If you click the link (title) you'll be directed to an online edition of a book originally published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers, Hillsdale, New Jersey, 1991: Photojournalism An Ethical Approach by Paul Martin Lester.

I consider it food for thought and reflection about photojournalism and ethics and thus would like to share it with you.

Now follows an excerpt to lure you into reading the full version:

A photojournalist is a mixture of a cool, detached professional and a sensitive, involved citizen. The taking of pictures is much more than F-stops and shutter speeds. The printing of pictures is much more than chemical temperatures and contrast grades. The publishing of pictures is much more than cropping and size decisions. A photojournalist must always be aware that the technical aspects of the photographic process are not the primary concerns.

A mother crying over the death of her daughter is not simply an image to be focused, a print to be made, and a picture to be published. The mother's grief is a lesson in humanity.

If the photojournalist produces a picture without a thought for her tragedy, the lesson is lost. But if the photographer cares for her loss, is made more humane, and causes the readers to share in her grief, photojournalism has reached its highest potential.

Despite its frustrations and low moments, the lesson of humanity is why photojournalism is an extremely rewarding profession. For that reason, photojournalism is worthy of the best thought and actions possible by its participants.

Parece-me que esse excerto e' apenas algo parecido com o que a malta costuma usar para se desculpar pela falta de conhecimentos...
Para poderem usar desculpas como "fiz essa foto assim porque quis" "foi intencional" "nao interessa a tecnica", etc...

Na verdade, para escreverem isso e' porque os conhecimentos tecnicos sobre velocidades, aberturas, sensibilidades, composiçao, etc ja' foram 'a muito aprendidos, e estao ja' numa fase em que tudo ja' sai perfeito automaticamente... A unica coisa com que se podem preocupar e' com o conceito...

....meh... fotojornalismo .... :P


Mas levas com o coraçaozinho ali em cima na mesma :aww:

Beijinho :blowkiss:

Perfect extracts to encapsulate :clap: thanks for the link x
:iconhelewidis:
percebo o que queres dizer, mas nao penso que este excerto esteja a ir por esse caminho. claro que eu digo isto porque li o resto. :B coisa que te aconselho a ler, mas na minha opiniao o que ali está nao é uma desculpa para falta de conhecimentos, mas uma apologia do fotojornalismo como algo mais do que uma foto bem tirada... uma foto com alma, que nos prende, mas que tb seja humana e tenha ética... ele nao está a falar do conceito, mas de ética. acho que ali o que ele quis dizer é que se estiveres a tirar uma foto que vai parar à capa de uma magazine por ser mt boa em termos tecnicos, mas nao te interessaste pelo lado humano da historia, entao a foto nao passa de algo esteticamente belo e perde o lado jornalistico...

portanto, resumindo, penso que o que ali está não é uma desculpa para quem nao percebe, mas um aviso para quem percebe de tecnicalidades... e isto tb vem no seguimento de um capitulo que trata de fotomanipulaçoes, e de como isso altera profundamente a essencia do que o fotojornalism devia ser...

bla, bla, bla... lê o livro! :B

Eu li... ;)

O meu comentario foi mais na onda de aproveitar o texto para mandar mais umas indirectas 'a malta que usa essas desculpas para a pseudo-fotografia que produzem...
Eu percebi muito bem o que ele quis transmitir com esse texto. E sim, uma fotografia so' e' muito boa se a tecnica + o conceito (ou o lado humano, historia, etc), estiverem presentes...

Nao me batas, nao era a ti que eu estava a mandar umas chapadazitas ;)
Desculpa ter aproveitado o textozinho, mas sabes bem que vem tudo ler os teus textos ;)
