What To Look For When Going For The Best Boston Photojournalist

By Mayra Pierce


Some photojournalists stand out from the crowd with their work, while others will take lifetime shots without any of their work ever getting recognized. To standout as a Boston photojournalist, you need to have the best qualities. These qualities can be acquired, so it is not just a matter of inborn talent, but the hard work and perseverance of the individual.

All of the successful photojournalists possess great curiosity, which is the sole idea of photojournalism. Since this career is based on curiosity, a great photo journalist will constantly want to find and learn more about things. Another quality of a great photojournalist is the desire to impact the world, and create deep emotions with the photographs taken. Becoming bored with an item you are photographing is something that should be avoided.

The desire for adventure is the main reason people become great photojournalists. They tend to travel to exotic places, where the action really is. Since most exciting events do not happen close to home, these photo journalists have to go to far away places to capture fantastic shots. Traveling does not have to mean going to the far end of the world for a shot. Sometimes, just visiting a new city will leave the photographer with amazing shots.

You have to be brave to qualify to be a good photojournalist. Some of the big names in the industry earned their fame from work they did in dangerous places such as the Amazon forest or even in war torn countries. The strength to go down there usually pays off, but that doesn't mean you jump on any danger for the shot.

You have to have very fast reflex in taking the photos. You may have a camera with very high shutter speed, but if your reflex is low, then you will miss the moment. Train yourself such that your mind acts almost simultaneously with your hand. The communication between your brain and your hand should be instant and sometimes you even don't realize that you thought of taking the photo when you already took it.

Being confident is a quality that any great photojournalists must possess, should he or she want to make a name for themselves in this competitive industry. Asking for permission when you want to take a photograph will only ensure the moment is missed. If action is happening in your vicinity, approach it in order to get the best available shot.

Show compassion in the photos you take if you are taking for a desperate person or anything that needs humanitarian assistance. Let your photo speak out for that person to get the need they want. There is a thin line between exploiting the person's vulnerability to gain recognition and showing compassion so go for the latter.

Photojournalists in Boston, MA can take their profession to higher level if they master all of these qualities and be able to do them naturally. Rome was not built in one day so don't stress yourself in learning them in a single day. Just master one at a time and in a short period you will be the best.
