About the final project for: Photo Journalism and Social Photography
Photojournalism and Social Photography
“Thank you for reaching the end of this course. Before saying goodbye, we are going to review everything we have learned about Photojournalism and Social Photography. First of all we have reviewed some of my works and my referents throughout history. We have also commented on how the profession and its origins have evolved. Then we have discovered how to document about the conflict we are going to cover and all the administrative details before a trip. In addition, we have commented on the type of photographic material that I use. We have differentiated the methodology of the news and the in-depth reporting, determining how to approach each one and its limits. Finally, we have learned important techniques and tricks when editing our photos, improving aspects for better understanding but without altering the content. I hope you enjoyed discovering this world and my method of work a bit more than I did this course. I encourage you to participate in the forum and share your projects, ideas, questions and everything you want. A greeting.”
