Photojournalism Assignment

PART ONE:
    
        Photojournalism needs to have a sense of ethical behavior that gets portrayed in the photography that is being taken. Since it is a common occurrence that photos in journalism capture a story about a certain person or groups of people, it is needed that dignity for the individual is present. Everyone has the right to say wether or not they want a certain picture being seen by the public or not, but sometimes this right is ignored by journalists or paparazzi. The rules that journalists should follow are to respects ones personal space, and to ask permission before capturing a picture of a specific person. Along with respecting the people that they are photographing, they also need to consider how they would feel if something personal in their life was exposed to the public at the level in which they journal. Having a code of ethics is necessary because journalism would become so extreme that no one would have any privacy or personal life. As every story may become more and more demeaning, journalists would try to outdo each other and therefore putting the security of people lives in jeopardy.

PART TWO:

       I chose this picture that I took because I thought that it displayed how committed and enthusiastic this speaker was. Although his face is hidden from this picture, you still can see on the audiences faces that they are enjoying what he is saying and having a good time. You can easily tell that Keith is interacting with the viewers by the fact that he is standing on a chair trying to attain their attention while make a important point. This picture shows a large amount of the crowd to show how popular this speaker was.

       My second picture that I chose to put up on my blog is the one with the most clear and expressive emotion on his face. Keith brought up a student from the audience to involve him into his presentation. Although the student does not seem to be very impressed with the situation, the speaker helped to make him feel more comfortable by asking questions. You can also see in the picture, that he is listing points and really talking into the audience.
