Event Photography
Pictures have captured some of the most famous events in our history. Whether it was Dr. King giving a speech, Ghandi walking, or even Hitler. With photography you let people come and see what you saw, or feel what you felt. There are many advantages for photographers. With a photograph you can capture memories that last forever, also there are many art institutes around the country to go to, and you get to travel instead of staying in an office or cubical.
With a photograph you can capture memories that can last forever. Pictures are not just there to look at; they are often taken to capture a memorable moment. That memorable moment can be used to educate the future generations to come, about your family, or our history. As people constantly grow with technology memories can stay documented for years to come to remember of the good times had with passed loved ones.
Hedgecoe says that lighting is everything when taking a picture. The light helps explain what you are looking at. It also, gives your picture that detail, which it needs to explain what you were feeling at that moment. It again helps when in low light situations, when you do not have a major light source (270).
An event Photographer is hired for all of your special events. According to MediaCollege.com if a photographer is working for the government or an advertising agency they have a five day, forty hour week, but not all Event Photographers are under a company. Many are individually employed, and may charge differently. Most of them have had some years of advanced photography classes in their past.

Each one has its own special meaning to me. The photos in the books are the memories of the people and events that I had encountered and the people whom I shared and grown up together with and where I shared and cherished many happiness with. The photo really keeps memories alive as it actually captures and stores many events and memories for a long time. When looking back to them, it reminds me of the special times and events. The photo books are a significant part of my memory and they can help me remember the things and bring back many bad and good memories.
Photographers have many responsibilities in order to be successful. Photographers must know how to make little kids smile for the camera, they do this for all age groups. They do this by possibly making a silly face or placing a mirror in front of them etc.I think that this is important because if the kids or anyone didn’t smile for the camera, then the photos wouldn’t create a positive feeling. Photographers also need to know when to use the right lighting and when to and not to use the flash. They need to know this or else the pictures they take wouldn’t be as high quality. Another thing photographers need to do is create backgrounds for photo shoots. If photographers didn’t do this, then the background of every picture taken would be plain. To be successful, photographers have many responsibilities to take care of.
Photographs are able to give many points of view as well but by changing the lighting it could seem to have been shot at a different time of day; change the angle and it could look like a completely different thing. Although these two combined would make a great story, photographs alone aren’t always enough or reliable; they could be taken out of context and misinterpreted by the public. Because the fact that photographs are easier and have many ways of being manipulated, they don’t really apply to the ethos, pathos and logos of a narrative, which is why a narrative is more important to a story.
There is an old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” which is very true. In the article, "Against Neutrality", by Teju Cole mainly focuses on how a photograph can change a person perspective in an entire different way. Coles states, “The camera is an instrument of transformation”. A photographer has the power to create multiple different perspectives, which can be good and bad. It depends on the person who takes the picture and with the intent of the photo. A photographer is like a writer because they want to send some time of message to their audience.
Photography allows us to maintain memories and relish them whenever we desire. Although some advocates might argue that people are no longer enjoying experiences instead taking more pictures, in the essay, “Why We Take Pictures”, by Susan Sontag, she conflates that photography can be used as a defense against anxiety and a tool of empowerment. I agree with Sontag on the significance of photographs and how it allows us to store a part of our extended relatives so we are able to hold on the memories of family. Therefore, we must appreciate how photography allows us to manage anxiety, express feelings and remember our loved ones.

Photojournalism is very distinct and unique. It has continued to serve as a huge impact in American society. Photography and photojournalism may sound alike but they are not the same thing.
What is a photograph? Now, one might say a photograph is an image taken of oneself, another person(s), and/or a place using a camera. Others might say that a photograph is an image of a moment or memory captured in time that will be forever remembered. Both are correct of course, but I believe a photograph has the potential of meeting both of those ideas. In addition, pictures exist to portray any image of ourselves that we want noticed; by the world. Pictures and selfies can help create any façade one wishes to maintain in order to hide who they really are. These pictures, define who we are as human beings; They enhance our social standing and advocate our individuality. Each picture taken has an underlying message that is trying to be heard.
This article starts off with a video of different pictures put together just to have a physical affect on you after you look at it. Photography is the art of capturing the world's greatest and sometimes saddest moments that happen. It's not just pointing a camera and taking a few shots of something, it goes much deeper than what meets the eye. This article states that photography isn’t what it use to be, they never took as long as they do now to take pictures of things. They used to take one picture and put it and that was done and over with. This soon changed in the later years, everything just doesn't get taken care of as soon as it happens. Photography has grew over the years and people who were asked why they do what they do simply say
Photography is the art or process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface as film or an optical sensor, (Webster). Over the years, photography has grown, and evolved, and impacted our lives more than ever. It can evoke emotions, and force us to act… by seeing photographs of war, or child labor the need to stop war and child labor is brought to life. It can be a matter of life or death; it can save our lives. Such as when you go to a doctor and they take a scan of your brain or body, and find cancer or a tumor you didn’t know you had but could affect your life. It can even change your life for the better… when you get an ultrasound and hear the heartbeat of your new baby for the first

But maybe you have considered creating a career from it like a professional digital photographer? Before you decide to discount the concept as too farfetched, let us take a look at a few of the benefits taking on professional photography like a career.
Photography is simple yet versatile. With just the press of a button, any moment in time can be immortalized. Additionally, its ubiquitous nature has made a significant impact on various fields of study as well as our personal lives. Photography is used in academia as a form of reference, in media to tell stories and spread messages; it’s a method of capturing meaningful memories of friends and family and as an art to introduce ideas, pose questions and display emotions. Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes both provide their input on multifaceted and arduous questions, such as: What is the meaning of a photograph? What role do photographs play in our society? How does one look at photographs and proceed to “understand” them? On Photography (by
Photojournalism plays a critical role in the way we capture and understand the reality of a particular moment in time. As a way of documenting history, the ability to create meaning through images contributes to a transparent media through exacting the truth of a moment. By capturing the surreal world and presenting it in a narrative that is relatable to its audience, allows the image to create a fair and accurate representation of reality.
Without photography, there would be no photographs, animation, movies, and television. People would need to draw things they see so that they would be able to share it to other people. A single drawing would take a long time to finish and not all people would be able to draw what they see. Thanks to photography, a single photograph today would only take a second or less to finish. With advanced technology, you would also be able to upload and share it at once after taking a photograph.
Photography is relatively simple in comparison to painting, which is a much more complex task. With photography, the composition is already completely arranged, but with a painting the objective is much more open to interpretation by the artist. The artist has the ability to capture much more emotion, understanding, and significance in an event and apply this fiery drive to his paintbrush when creating his own masterpiece.
