The Importance of the Camera in Photojournalism

News Photos started with the invention of cameras. The first camera was invented by Alexander Wolcott. His camera got a patent on May 8, 1840. Without the invention of the camera, the news photograph never influences the audience's idea as it is now. The visual effect places everything the people's perspective, the written language and the text on the paper means, but when the reader realizes that it actually happens, it turns the text into reality I will. Photojournalism is an inevitable combination of photography and journalism, and the name of this group is by Frank Luther Mott, Department of Journalism at the University of Missouri.

Until today, since the first compact camera was made, I still know that modern photojournalism began in 1925. There are many photojournalists who always like Leica, and the German camera brand has always been related to photojournalism. Leica is the first manufacturer to manufacture 35 mm film compact camera with flash system. As Riis and its influence on politics have shown, the series of photographic and social documentaries have had a big impact before. The impact of these pictures is very limited, but with the launch of this new magazine style these pictures have also reached simple blue collar workers.

Before the first batch of photos appeared as an early form of photojournalism, illustrations depict specific historical events. Photojournalism is not the first form of news-centered news, but as camera technology advances it is logical to replace complicated illustrations with photographs. Prints of this photograph were published in "L 'Illustration" newspaper in July 1848. This picture has great influence not only on pictures but also on painters. Painters in the 1860s closely resemble this painting style, and the latter people are said to have seen only small points. It was a very interesting discovery at the time, as the picture was considered a low form of art and tired by painters and other artists.

Another factor of modern photojournalism is still a dramatic increase in "citizen news". Most people have a camera recently even camera-equipped mobile phones. This means that more and more important events are recorded as it may happen to random people in the right place at the right time. Major news organizations such as CNN will actually use these amateur documentaries pictures when news articles occur. Another aspect of civic news that is sometimes criticized is the lack of quality, and sometimes the lack of importance. Only the snapshot taken with my cell phone may be the main and spontaneous picture of the event, but raising things to a certain level will affect quality. For example, only the press is permitted to enter a specific place. These are photographers trained with professional equipment.
