Isn’t photojournalism dangerous to the photographer sometimes?
Yes, absolutely. Photojournalists are eyewitnesses to history. They document protests, famine, natural disasters and wars first-hand. They are on the front lines. Even photojournalists working in small towns come in close contact with fires, murders and other danger zones. There are photojournalists who get hurt, shot and even die on the job. Sometimes the emotional burden is considerable as well. But on a normal day, this is not the case. Photojournalists also make pictures of Girl Scouts, farmers, business owners, basketball games and carnivals.
