On April 1877 photography and journalism
made a beautiful creation called photojournalism. One of the first daily
newspapers was The Daily Graphic. I found the process of the
photographer giving the artist the images to draw interesting, because the
artist can change the details of the image if they wanted. Which is similar to
the software Photoshop.
There were many pioneer
photojournalists that changed and paved the way for photojournalist today. The
photojournalists I found intriguing are; Frances Benjamin Johnston for being
the first woman photographer, Arthur Fellig (Weegee) for using a police scanner
to be the first on the scene, Erich Salomon for capturing those candid moments
that make a picture interesting, and Gordon Parks for telling the story of
racism to the African American community in the 1940s. Photojournalist has came
a long way since 1877 and is growing even more with new social media that
provides us with news.
