Photojournalism

What is it that makes a photojournalist? A passion for depicting the truth is likely the foremost quality they share. Secondly, there is an ability to simultanously see the beatuy and the brutality, the joys beside the tears, and the irony amid the stark.

Generations of photojournalists have risked their lives in combat, taken chances with their personal saftey in the inner city or walked the streets of their neigborhood to capture a piece of the world around them. Sometimes, their work has changed the world at large.

Here, Fotophile.com hopes to introduce a sampling of work by some photojournalists, some notable and some relatively unknown. But all have contributed to the journey for immediacy and truth.

Inferno
Inferno
by James Nachtwey | U.K

The horrifying scenes photojournalist James Nachtwey captured in Bosnia and Somalia during the past decade stand as a testament to the paradox of the human condition and our own frailty. "I am trying to upset people," Nachtwey told Time magazine. "I am trying to interrupt their day." His new book, Inferno, which brings together 382 oversized B&W images, does just that with starkness, truth and sometimes even beauty.

Eisenstaedt on Eisenstaedt
Eisenstaedt on Eisenstaedt: A Self-Portrait
by Alfred Eisenstaedt | U.K

Perhaps best known for his image of a sailor kissing a nurse on Times Square upon word that Japan had surrendered in World War II, Alfred Eisenstaedt forged an illustrious career in photojournalism almost without parallel. In this book, Eisenstaedt reveals what he was thinking while making pictures (such as approaching Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda) and shows some previously unseens contact prints — all in his unpretensious and uniquely human way.

The Journey Is the Destination
The Journey Is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon
by Dan Eldon, Kathy Eldon (editor) | U.K

At 22, Dan Eldon was already an acclaimed Reuters war photographer based in Africa. But that didn't stop an angry Somalian mob from beating him to death following the bombing of a local leader's home. Driven by a sense of justice in his brief life, Eldon had managed to create journals in which he reflects on the inhumanity and the beauty of the world around him, trying to bring to a wider audience a portrait of what he saw. This book is a compilation of his drawings, writings, photographs and collages edited by his mother.
