Photojournalism is different from other areas of photography; since the work contributes to the news media, it must be impartial and honest, and the story being told has to be strictly journalistic. One has to make instant decisions, and must always be at the ready. Often, the conditions are not optimal and are full of obstacles, such as crowds of people, poor weather, or the threat of physical danger.

When wearing my photojournalist “hat” I have the opportunity to change the way people view the world through my photographs. It allows for true reflection and capturing of raw unbiased emotions as it unfolds.
