History of Photojournalism

    The women photojournalist that I have chosen today is Ami Vitale who is a Nikon Ambassador and National Geographic photographer, writer, speaker, and documentary filmmaker. I have chosen her because I have had an interest in National Geographic since I was little. Photo by: Bryan Liscinsky Date: 2018 image source: link      Ami V itale was born on August 29, 1971, in Florida, USA. Ami Vitale has a remarkable affinity for life-changing events, Ami Vitale was a self-described shy, gawky child who possessed little confidence. The assessment of the grade school teacher told her that she was not very good at English stuck with her for years and though Ami Vitale was not very good at English she almost perfected the SAT math score and thought of becoming an engineer when she was younger.

     To start this blog is about my opinions and this can be a sensitive topic for others, I have no intention of hurting or offending anyone from this blog. I want to voice my opinion on art in general and AI.      AI is a topic that a lot of artists are talking about. Not only digital artists but others are concerned about their job in the art fields that involve putting work online, digital artist or photographer is at risk of getting replaced by AI the photo that artist can produce AI can also do the same with their intelligence and the data they have based on the internet. but one thing that I think AI can't do is create its own ideas, I know that AI can generate any picture that you want by typing in the keywords of the picture you want to be and describing it as simple and detailed at the same time to get the picture you want, but all AI is doing is bringing a lot of data of pictures on the same keywords that you want and mixed them together which ca...

     after researching how the technology of cameras evolved to how it is now, I am more appreciative of the technology I have today because some of the processes back then sound like a pain to me, for example staying still for eight minutes for a picture or even remember the chemicals for my picture to develop properly. There are many digital photographic technologies and processes for example : early crud digital cameras, quality less than film fully featured digital cameras, called DSLRS, quality rivals film  transmitting via cell phone and laptop satellite phones wireless transmitters hybrid still / video cameras DSLRs new digital marketplace wifi enabled DSLRs     O ne of the processes that probably saved my college life was transmitting via cell phone and laptop. Many classes require me to take a picture or video on my phone and transfer my data to my laptop. In this class for example I need pictures that I have taken on my phone to be on my blog post...

      I s photojournalism art ? is a question a lot of people wonder. I think that photojournalism is art because art comes in different forms and different types of art and I think that photojournalism is a part of art because to take a picture that tells so many words and a story in one picture you need to know the composition of the picture and you have to have the creativity to bring that story to live using one picture and I think that the from art. in photojournalism they are principle like :  the subject expression quality of light rule of thirds obvious main subject the composition of the picture (how cluttered the picture is) contrast appropriate use of shadows background compliments use of lines depth of field exposure what feeling does this image create does the image remind you of any work of art or photography have you seen? is the image black and white or color? These are examples of photos that follow the principle of photojournalism from different tim...
