PHOTO JOURNALISM

Why choose photography?
Choose photography when a powerful visual can tell the story. A photograph can document reality, reveal something easily overlooked, capture change over time or create a striking visual message that makes people stop and think.

Photo journalism uses the power of imagery to raise awareness and inspire action on environmental and climate issues. Discover the various ways you can captivate an audience and make an impact through the lens of your camera… or your phone!

Staged Campaign Photo

Photo Story

The purpose of a Photo Story (3-5 Photographs) is to tell a story through a series of photographs to help the viewer better understand environmental issues, events, or phenomena.
