Photojournalism - School Post 6 of 6

My last photo for this class for the semester is a shameless self promotion. I, Lauren Cunningham, also someone who really, really enjoys photojournalism and what comes with it. I usually take photos of the world as it's happening around me, and am in the market for a much better camera. I recently went with my boyfriend to Woodward Park for the annual spring flower picture taking event and wound up getting some fabulous shots.


The flowers were in a fabulous bloom and I couldn't resist. Afterall... they're roses. :) I was also able to get some other pictures as well.

Ken McCray from Florida showcases events that have stories behind them... meaningful stories. Maybe you will look at his work and wonder what in the world was happening at the exact moment that would have spurred that type of response, or maybe you just might look at the photo and smile. His work shows people in real life situations, as they're living them.


Did he see something scary or horrifying? Was he just told news that was hard on his psyche? Did he just want to show the world how big he could open his mouth? We don't know... and Ken likes it that way.

Rebekah Workman is also based out of the Oklahoma area and is well known for her photography styles for weddings, engagement photos, and other life events. She is another person who doesn't necessarily dabble in the media driven events, but chooses to moreso pay attention to what's happening around her in the here and now. She has gained the ability to charge a hefty price for her work, but her style shows she deserves it.

Amanda Ridgley is a fantastic photographer right here in the Tulsa area who is a fresh face to the scene of photo-journalistic sense. She currently specializes in people (weddings, events, life...) and has a natural eye for what she is doing. With several engagement photos under her belt, a couple of weddings, and family events, she is shaping up to be the next big thing around town.


Mary and Lance are getting married soon and they asked Amanda to be their photographer for their engagement photos, and what a choice they made! Amanda has a real ability to pull in colors from all over the scene and make the main visual really stand out.

Photojournalism - School Post 2 of 6

There are photojournalists that focus on news media and exploring the realm of journalism through travel and socials situations, and then there are photojournalists that dabble in the world of visual reporting on everyday life. Connecticut is home to one of these journalists that showcases that world as it's happening.

Sports can be fantastic photo-journalistic opportunities, as you can see here with Mike Ross' photo of a woman's basketball game. The human body is impressive with the way that it moves and Ross has a certain way to capture scenes and situations happening in a very beautiful light. Going to his main page you can see amazing imagery of weddings, children, scenes, and life as it's happening.
