#21 WOULD YOU RISK YOUR LIFE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY?
Today meet the photographers for whom risk assessment means more than a trip hazard, photographers making judgement calls that affect their lives and their families too. Also more on photographing protest and how the actions of the police and other authorities affect photojournalists.
Paul Rogers is now a successful wedding shooter based north west of London. If his clients drill down into his bio, they’ll learn that he’s a photographer with news credentials, an eye for a story. And that’s because his work as a news photojournalist took him to places most of us will only ever visit on the front pages of a newspaper. But with that responsibility came risk as today’s episode explains.
And Adrian Arbib is back to share his experiences of photographing Africa along with more about the current anti-discrimination protests sweeping the world and how he feels photojournalists have been treated.
