I like this photo because I have seen it many times through out my High School History classes. It was taken in the celebration of Victory over Japan. All the soldiers were ecstatic that the war was finally over, as were the women. The photo depicts the joy of the people on this day in history.

Photojournalism

Photojournalism is a branch of journalism that utilizes photos to tell a story. It may be accompanied with text, explaining the photos or narrating what is going on. The difference between a photograph and photojournalism is that photojournalism usually comes with writing that would be used with maybe magazines; while photography is a branch of its own. The NPPA is the National Press Photography Association. They work with voicing work of visual journalists today. The NPPA code of ethics is intended to promote the highest quality in all forms of photojournalism and to strengthen public confidence in the profession. The media needs ethics because it is important to remain a true artists who  works in a morally correct manner.

Abstract Photography

Abstract photography can be used to create dramatic images. With abstract, you can get multiple perspectives on one subject. In class, we used the super macro on our point and shoots and were able to take some really cool photos. Although it isn’t easy, abstract photograph can create powerful images attracting the eye.
