Q: What is Photojournalistic?

A: When shopping for a photographer you will likely here many different ideas of what this means but basically, a "photojournalistic" photographer will take photos similar to the way a magazine photographer will cover a special event by capturing special or important moments as they occur. This differs slightly with a traditional photographer who will generally take more posed shots.

It can be said that a Photojournalist will attempt to capture the image and a traditional Photographer will attempt to create the image. While many traditional photographers are in the midst of it all and take great candid's and many photojournalists take great formal shots, it is generally based on what type of photos their portfolios mainly contain.

Q: Can you apply any artistic effects to an image?

A: Yes. However, I tend to limit it to a few types of effects such as soft focusing, selective coloring, water coloring, and a few others as I feel many of the effects available simply do not look professional.

If you are desiring something like this, please keep in mind that only select photos qualify for these effects. Professional results may also take a significant amount of PC time which may add to the price.
