Last night I attended te United Minority Relief workshop on photojournalism in regards to the Syrian crisis and refugees specifically. I learned a lot and found it very interesting. The part of the night I found most interesting was when photos by journalists were compared to photos by refugees themselves. Journalists usually use a “poster child” or focus on one person or thing to make you feel whereas refugees don’t try to get the perfect shot. Refugees takes pictures of unposed action. Personally, I think the refugees photos are more powerful because although the journalist’s pull at your heart strings, the refugee’s make it possible for you to feel like you are there in it, which is even more powerful.
