As much as i love editorial and fashion photography, my favourite has to be photojournalism. Having an avid passion for not only design and photography but also current affairs and politics, i always love a mixture of my interests. That being photojournalism.
I have been lucky enough to make one of my best friends at uni, whose dad is a photojournalist. Since being introduced to the photo wonders of Andy Hall i am constantly updating my knowledge of him and his photos, and much to his annoyance have managed to weed my way a few free images to stick up on my wall.
He has taken photos of so many legends including Bill Bailey, Don King, Bear Gryls and Martin Scorcese. Also of loads of current affairs and issues around the world, like the tsunami, Kosovo, Lebanon and Chernobyl. His photos always set the scene really dramatically and tells the story's of anyone in one. His work is inspiring and i would one day love to be as successful and take as many amazing pictures as him.
...if Andy sees this HEY KIDDO, this is meant to promote your work, not be a copyright infringement.
I am very jealous! Such amazing photos

ReplyDeleteSuch powerful, provocative imagery. Something we can should all aspire to I think
ReplyDeleteA wonderful photographer to follow Anna - you are right to point out his compositions are dramatic and artistic. They carry powerful messages and make you stop and think - a sign of great photo journalism
