That’s some good photo, dude
Check out the World Press Photo of the Year gallery – some amazing stuff in there – not just single shots but portfolios, too – so like a music album, you get context and development of themes that you don’t get with singles. Helps get the message across, adds interest and meaning.
The winning photo:
War, death and suffering seem to feature fairly prominently. Is it because it elicits stronger emotion from the viewer (or the judges of this contest) than photos of other stuff would? Is suffering and war particularly photogenic? Or is it just attracting the best photographers out there?
