Photo Journalism
These photos show the weird and wonderful things in Manchester, these aren't my favourite set of photos i have taken but there is still a sense of pride with these photos.
The viewer gets to choose how they see the photos, what, where and when.

Here you have a photo of a preacher and someone who was against what he was preaching. You can see the difference of opinion in the picture from the body language but some people may view this as just a conversation. The black and white effect allows the viewer to read more into it, was it a nice day was it dull and it just adds the emotion of the photo.
This is my favourite photo of this genre. I like the background being desaturated whilst the traffic light is in full colour, it makes that particular object the focal point of the photo.
The colours in this image work well, the background is unfocused and the pigeon isn't but the pigeon has dark colours.
This photo is interesting. The faces of the crowd are different. The focus of this photo is the floating man.
The photo journalism photos i researched are more explicit and push boundary's with the photos. The idea is to make it aware that murder is happening for no reason in some country's. In one of the pictures Eddie Adams had took there was a male with a gun to his head, this is a hard photo to look at but its to make people aware. My photo journalism images are nothing like that i just wanted to tell a story of Manchester.
