The Rise of the Photojournalist

Introduction Article

Creative Talents Magazine - Issue 006
Photojournalism has a rich and fascinating history, spanning more than a century of human events and social movements. From the early days of black-and-white news photography to the digital age of instant imagery, the art of capturing the world through a lens has undergone a remarkable evolution. At the dawn of the 20th century, photojournalism was still in its infancy. Cameras were large and cumbersome, and the process of developing images was slow and laborious. But despite these limitations, photographers were able to capture some of the most significant events of the day, from the sinking of the Titanic to the horrors of World War I. In the 1930s and 1940s, photojournalism came of age, with iconic images from the Great Depression and World War II shaping public perceptions of the world. The work of photographers like Dorothea Lange, Margaret Bourke-White, and Robert Capa brought the struggles of ordinary people to life in a way that had never been seen before.

Leslie Spurlock Interview

About Me

Creative Talents Magazine - Issue 006
Tell us a little aboout yourself and how you treansitioned between wedding photography and the role of, photo Journalism? I actually started out doing photojournalism. Wedding photography only came about because I got a divorce, and photojournalism doesn’t pay as well. As soon as I got remarried, and I was able to quit weddings, I immediately went back to that type of work. In terms of how I got into that type of work, I actually just decided I wasn’t getting any younger, and I had to just make the leap and do my passion. That is when I took off for Haiti. I ended up going to Haiti 6 times and covering things like the uprising (when I lived with the rebels), to voodoo, to a flood that killed 3000 and a variety of other things.

Protests - Issues of Injustice

Article and Photographs

Creative Talents Magazine - Issue 006
From the outset whilst writting this background information to introduce these photographs and this sensitive subject I realised I have no personal knowledge, expreince or insights into the reasons why these events took place and why they escalated. I have therefore only been able to base the words used in this artcle on the information I have available on the web. And as such they should only be used as an introduction to the photographs rather than factual information pertaining to the reason behind the passionate responce to life changing events that led to the protest.
