Sutton-Hibbert photography, environmental, portrait stock photography archive, based in Tokyo, Japan | Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert. Home | Format Festival. Press Photographer or Photojournalist. Newspaper or press photography has a glamorous image based largely on TV documentaries about larger-than-life "paparazzi" (the Italian word for "buzzing insects") whose job it is to capture images of celebrities for the national newspapers and gossip magazines. However the vast majority of Press Photographers are skilful, diplomatic people, who work under pressure to capture the best possible images to document events, tell a story, meet the picture editor's deadlines and help sell the newspaper.
Most work for local or provincial newspapers where the photographer covers every possible subject from court proceedings to business stories, hospital openings and village fetes. On national newspapers it is usual for Press Photographers to specialise in a particular field, such as sports or politics. Press Photographers may be employed by the publication but an increasing number work on commission as freelancers. What is the job? For this information and more, please view the attached PDF.
