Photojournalism: Embracing the future
In a very interesting report about the recent Women in Photojournalism conference in Austin, Texas, David Nolan tells us about a presentation by Pauline Lubens (a staff photographer for the San Jose Mercury News).
After starting to use sound with her photography presentations a few years ago she now feels that the element that has been missing from her previous work (sound) has now become integral to the way she tells stories. However, she said that the one thing that hasn’t changed, even though we do audio, video, we have new gadgets, and new presentation platforms, is great storytelling. Amen to that!
Just one more quote to persuade you to click over and read the whole thing:
“I’m 51-years-old and I feel like a kid again. That’s good news and bad news. I feel more energized about work than I have in along time. Everything seems really new and I also get to be a workaholic again. I feel like I have a whole lot to learn and it has been very exciting. It is a creative feast. But it can be really scary,” [Lubens] said.
Pauline Lubens’s still photojournalism can be seen in this online gallery. She shot video to tell the story of Frank Sandoval, an Iraq war veteran who suffered a traumatic brain injury. The online story package was one of the most praised of its kind in late 2006 and early 2007.
