I enjoy taking photos and editing them but I do not see myself doing this in the future, however I do see myself doing one particular field of photography and that is sport photography. The future career I want is being a physical trainer or a job that involves physical activity. I could integrate photography into my future career choice by taking photos of a bodies physical transformation. Also to study the body as well.

His work is really amazing because he is capturing history in the making in some of the photos he has captured. The way he is able to pinpoint when to take a photo in a impactful moment is what makes his photography so great to me of course. Photojournalism is not easy to be good at, but he is able to tell a story with one photo as if it were nothing. Something else I enjoy about his work is that he doesn’t just photograph happy moments, he captures moments when people are down or something bad is currently happening during that instance. He shows people how ugly life can be in certain parts of the world, how cruel life is in itself. Despite most people not wanting to see these types of photos, they bring much more awareness to people and can teach them what is happening in other places and how people are being treated. Photography can be used to unite people and to help out more and bring more light to the dark.

Photojournalism is telling a story by using photographs shot by a camera. Instead of writing a story like a journalist they tell the story of someone or somewhere with just photographs. The equipment needed for this job is good glass lens, two dslr bodies, a TTL strobe, a flash modifier, batteries, memory cards, something to clean your equipment, and a bag to carry all these things.
