Abstract:
There are no specific rules in photography. The most important "rule" is to
see. Photography is all about detail. It is about noticing small things, for
example how many clouds there were in the sky this morning, or from what
side the wind was blowing. To become a good photographer, one has to
start focusing constantly on small detail like this.
For the past three years I have been involved in many photojournalistic
assignments, often working with photojournalists from a local newspaper, as
well as with some of the best photographers in the world. During this time, I
have learned a great deal about photography in practice. There are of
course a huge difference between photography in the classroom, and
photography in a real life situation, where you have to think on your feet and
where each second is of tremendous importance.
A second missed can be a photograph missed, and the opportunity will be
gone forever. For me, photojournalism is the ultimate form of photography.
The adrenalin of the situation, the immediacy of events and the feeling of
satisfaction after seeing the photograph~, makes it all worth while.
