TRYING TO BE A PHOTOJOURNALIST

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases, the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photographysocial documentary photographystreet photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work is both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media.-WIKIPEDIA.


How do I tell a story of the beauty of Putrajaya Wetlands in one photo? I could not do it because I will be committing a great injustice to the subject matter. Photos also can give the wrong impressions-depending who see and interpret them. News must come with words and photos to tell the real story. If I am a photojournalist or travel writer, I must compose an essay with some photos.




Below are some photos I would include if I were to write about the beauty of Putrajaya Wetlands.

KB WALK

I planned to have four days of Photowalking around Kota Bharu #KBWalk ,but due to unplanned family errands which I love doing for my  mother and son,I only managed to have two days with only less than 4 hours.Herewith I shared two photos taken behind Pejabat PAS. To do justice to the town,I need at least 7 full days and nights to capture the history  and culture of the place.My first attempt had revealed a lot more for me to explore,discover and capture.Another missing dimension I need to have with me before I embark on KBWalk is the history of Kota Bharu. It has to be another time..May be after Eidil Fitri.
