Answer 2

1. EQ: What is most important to being an accomplished photojournalist?
2. Answer 2: Having strong emotion in your photo.

Examples:

  • Emotion s something that everyone can connect with, which makes people understand the story and relate to it.
  • Having a certain emotion from one person separates your photo from every other photographer, because nothing like it has been done. It makes your photo and your story unique.
  • Since emotion is something everyone can relate to, you can have photos of people that people would normally not relate to but if the photo has an emotion you can relate to them. The photo above would be this example. Normally you wouldn't find yourself relating to one of the most popular bands of all time, but you can relate to being happy just hanging out with your best friends.
  • The in between moments are the moments that you catch the most emotion and that matter.
