May 17th, 2012 admin

Photo BooksPhoto books are a fantastic way to preserve your treasured captures and make them really long lasting. These snap books are crafted with your digital photos & printed digitally with captions and your story on high paper quality. Archival paper and archival ink are used along with protective coating. These books would be available in different sizes – you can have them in large panoramic patterns as well as in small and mid sized ones. Then you can also choose to opt between paperback or hardback options or the spiral finish ones.

In addition the snap books will have flat fold pages or glossy finish too. These books can have any number of pages above fifty. The prices vary and comes somewhere between 25-28 pounds.

A standard digitally printed photo book will be usually about twenty pages with varying sizes that can be anything from say 5 by 5- 7 by 10 – 8 by 8- 10.5 by 11- 12 by 12. It can be either of soft or hard cover and sometimes you can find a photo book with dusty covers.

It’s good to mention that a photo book allows you to customize it in your own way. You can go for the portfolio style or else spice it up with fun borders, clip arts and different other embellishments.

The snap books are preferred over the photo albums these days. First and foremost, there is no chance losing photos from the books over time as these are printed actually. In case of albums the photos are fixed with adhesive which can fall off when the PVC dries up over the years. Thus, a photo book seems to be much reliable over the albums. Another great part is that the snap books are lighter in weight than their predecessors as the snaps are printed while the albums need to carry individual pictures which used to enhance the overall weight.

How does photojournalism differ from photography?

February 28th, 2012 admin

photo journalismPut in simple terms, photo journalism is a genre of journalism whereby a news story is told with the help of still images only. This form of journalism is largely used in case of print media. But nowadays the videos used in case of broadcast media also fall under this category. Not everyone can become a photojournalist. You need to have special qualities in order to become a photojournalist. For example you need to have a nose for news and need to have a keens sense of news story. That would set you apart from an ordinary photographer. While the photographer would click the pictures of people, places and things, a photojournalist would click the pictures of actions (police clashing with the protestors, a soccer player scoring a goal etc.).

 

In case of photojournalism the main aim should always be the ability to tell a story with the help of the pictures. That is why while an ordinary photographer would consider almost anything as his subject, a photojournalist would only take the pictures of those events that might be helpful in narrating a story. Just like a reporter writes a news story through words, similarly a photojournalist tells the news story through pictures. Aesthetic beauty does not get a great deal of importance for the photojournalists. Instead what they look for is the truth being revealed with the help of the pictures taken. To get news worthy photograph a photojournalist always might be required to be in the thick of the action which might turn fatal for them.
