The PhotoJournalist as First Editor

Go to Last Post

The Photo Journalist supplies the raw visual data that judgements are based on, and from which decisions are made. We believe the "photograph", even with the knowledge that manipulation of the image is more easily than ever achieved. However, between the photographer and the consumer is a chain of editors who continually make choices that determine the information that reaches the public.

But what of the choices the photographer him/herself makes. Are we aware of this primary filter through which everything passes. Let's consider here the responsibilities of the front-line photo journalist. How does he see his job. What are the ethical issues? The aesthetic?  The professional, making a living,  job related issues? Can the desire of the "committed"  photo journalist to show the world the "truth" ever be fully realized? And knowing that there will always be the limitations imposed by the intervening editors, where does he point his camera?

We are pleased to have Ron Haviv moderating this forum. BLOOD & HONEY documents his committment to communicating the tragedy that overtook The Former Yugoslavia. He has confronted all the issues that affect the work of the photo journalist and we look forward to your contributions.
