Shut It Down: Michael Brown

So I know that this is a photojournalism blog and you are probably not viewing this site for political or cultural criticism. Don't worry I am not about to go on a rant or give a ten step solution for police brutality, racism or poverty. What this post is really about is what it's like to photograph protests, and give some insight about what I learned while photographing the Eric Garner and Michael Brown protests the other night.

Winter in the Northeast

Recently I have been brainstorming a new project and I have decided that I will begin working on a project titled "Winter in the Northeast". Here's an outline of the why and what for this project.

My Photography

Pierre Terdjman

A few weeks back I wrote about a new street art movement in New York City known as #Dysturb. This led me to do some more digging and I came across Pierre Terdjman, who is one of the co-founders of the movement #Dysturb.

My Photography

"Visual journalists operate as trustees of the public. Our primary role is to report visually on the significant events and varied viewpoints in our common world. Our primary goal is the faithful and comprehensive depiction of the subject at hand. As visual journalists, we have the responsibility to document society and to preserve its history through images."-NPPA

4 Tips for Photojournalists

Photography is not just the art of taking a pretty picture, nor is it tapping your iPhone to that perfect selfie. It's a way to tell a story, to speak truth to everyone without worrying about language barriers.
