• Describe the different circumstances that these photographers experienced as Photojournalists in WW2 

Robert Capa was working for a magazine to document the war in different places and report back to the magazine and he could choose where he wanted to go and when. Robert wasn't a solider like tony, he was a photographer and was treated a lot better that tony because he was seen as important. But Tony Viccaro was a solider and did not work for a company so he was fighting for his country and his life and also trying to capture war moments, so he did not decide where he could go to capture the moments, what he captured was a real life experience and could have been the image of his death but Robert was less likely to die because he was protected and did not fight along side the soliders.

Nguyen Ngoc Loan, South Vietnam's national police chief, executed a prisoner who was said to be a Viet Cong captain. AP photographer Eddie Adams won a Pulitzer Prize for this picture.

The image has a bigger affect than the video because it last longer and it has a lot more detail and more of a dramatic affect because you can see everything but the video is over in an instant and looks like a casual thing to happen. 

At any other moment, a second before or a second after it would not have the same affect but because the image was captured at this moment it had a great affect on the war. This showed that people in Vietnam were being executed without trial. 

Henri Cartier Bresson Photojournalism

Henri Cartier Bresson 

• Photojournalism - Explain what it is

Photojournalism is capturing the news on camera and capturing a moment that words cant say. 

• Why is he famous?

He is a famous photojournalist and photographer who took iconic photos. 

• Why is his work significant in Photojournalism?

Every picture he took, he waited for the right moment, he didn't force the moment, he waited for it to happen right in front of him so he captured moments that could never be recreated in the same way again.

• What Camera/Technique did he use

He used a Leica camera that was a new special designed camera, the Leica camera let you keep both eyes open, one eye looking through the camera and the other watching the world go by so he could catch decisive  moments as they happen. He has a technique of waiting for the right moment and making the photo coming to you. 

My Camera

               

Sony Xperia U

This is the camera I use to take pictures of different landscapes and nature because that is what I enjoy the  the most with photography.

In this course I want to learn new photography skills and get some really good pictures out of it.
