“The elements of a subject that speak to us are often scattered and can't be captured in one photo; we don't have the right to force them together, and to stage them would be cheating... which brings us to the need for photojournalism.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson
There are stories to be told everywhere, from the altiplano of South America to around the corner back home. In a 24 hour news cycle, audiences want the story and want it now, with pictures from the frontlines. The world of communication has become a world where audiences want storytelling brought to them in new ways.
