DSPC Entries: Photojournalism Contest

I joined the DSPC (Division Schools Press Conference) Photojournalism contest in English this October 8 - 9 of 2009. As photojournalists, we were tasked to shoot photographs which is related to human interest. In photojournalism, the photographs shouldn't be snapshots or orchestrated photographs, but photographs depicting stories of people. In photojournalism, captions must support the photographs and mustn't be the obvious but the deeper meaning of the photograph.

In photojournalism, I learned a lot about the lives of different people. Because while shooting, we get to interview the people. I also encounter different kinds of personalities that's why I realized that I should always prepare myself for whatever I would encounter.

Fortunately, I bagged the first place for photojournalism in english and I would proceed to the Regional Schools Press Conference, wish me luck!
