__Photography for Journalism__

Photography in complex and beautiful locations demonstrate a feeling associated with a culture, landscapes and people. The emotion drawn from this is incredible, and can transport you to a new place and people for some time. The photographers for companies like Time magazine and National Geographic are beautiful, with an underlying tones of education and enlightenment, bringing issues and important news to the public through compelling images. For photography for journalism I looked into interviews, one of them with National Geographic's photographer Stephen Alvarez as he speaks in detail about hs passion for storytelling. The complexity of a story told through imagery, and the depth of history in a location that he can capture and preserve. This kind of photography focuses on travel, and leaving a familiar zone, so for my photography trip I headed out to the third ward in Milwaukee and shot a number of photos focusing on capturing the age of the buildings blending in with modern art and viewpoints. The two clashing stories of a city on a number of fronts being forced to reconcile in the face of development. Artistically, this view emulates the storytelling roots of journalistic photography. The history and detail captured in time. I also looked into a number of architecture based photos, as detailed through time magazine. How their use of over saturated colors vastly changed and challenged the emotion in a piece. And the typical feeling of muted city tones are flipped in the bright colors, showing a life surrounding and embedded in the stone. For a career in this photo journalism typically internships and a bachelor degree in the arts is needed, a full and comprehensive portfolio and understanding of the craft. There needs to also be an experimental factor, a desire to try and accomplish new things for the job to work out. Typically you work out in the field, as Alvarez stated he was sent for 6 months to alaska to write and shoot. The environment is all around the world. And the client at heart is the consumer. Landscape and urban photography to make compelling and beautiful imagery that captivates a story. Typically their salaries 41,000 annually depending on commissions and quality.
