Introduction to Journalism - Photojournalism Exercise.

The following photos are ones that I have taken from BBC News Online to analyse:



This is obviously a very typical celebrity shot. It's not particularly an action shot, as neither of them are really doing anything other than smiling. However, it is allowing us to easily identify each of them, so it's obviously an identity shot (not particularly a "mug shot" as it's too posed for that).

Binyam Mohamed

This would typically be described as a "mug shot". It's not exactly posed, as he seems unaware that the picture is being taken even though he seems to be in a place where there is likely to be a lot of cameras going off. Again, he's not exactly doing anything as he's there making a speech, but since it's less posed but still being used to identify someone, it comes across as being a bit more of a "mug shot".

Radio 1 Teen Awards (Katy Perry)

This is a classic example of more of an "action" shot. She's on stage, she's moving, she's performing and it's taken at a point where she's not whole-heartedly purposefully posing for a camera, but more that it happens to be a good shot at the right time. So this is a great example of an "action" shot.
