“In this fast-paced world, where the emphasis is on immediacy, a still photograph stops time. It gives the viewer a moment to think, to react, to feel.”
Renée Byer is a Pulitzer prize winning photojournalist who presented in TedTalk regarding the storytelling aspect of photography.
According to her, she was interested in being a photojournalist the moment she held a pair of binoculars while she played - consumed by her desire to be an eyewitness and with this immense need to share what she saw to the world, she reiterated that photojournalism has the power of the enduring still image to inform and bring understanding to issues.
