What are the main differences and similarities?
Through some of their photographs, I have figured out that the main differences between the work of Andre Kertesz and Henri Cartier-Bresson versus the work of Eugene Smith and Sebastio Salgado are the visibility of the photographer. Andre Kertesz and Henri Cartier-Bresson believed that photographers should be invisible and only be seen as doing their jobs, and not to make emotional connections to their subjects. The approach they use is take photo without any edited on it, but just leave them as they are. In comparison, Eugene Smith and Sebastio Salgado believed that photographers should be visible, and the best photos are created by interacting with your subjects. The approach they use is the complete opposite. These pionts are the main differences between them. However, they also have few similarities points. Firstly, there is no limitaion on both of their photographs, the objects could be anything. Agian, it is that they both wanted to depend on the photographs to spread their senses to the public.
What’s the better journalistic approach?
If I never took this photography course, I would consider that one of the approach is better. However, after I studied this course, I think I cannot give a answer of this question. In my opinion, there is not better approach on the jouralistic photography. Since each approach has its advantage. Such as Andre Kertesz and Henri Cartier-Bresson’s approach are good at leavin gthe photos unedited, and staying true to the term reality. On the other hand, Eugene Smith and Sebastio Salgado's approach are good at adding more depth and sense to photos by photo enhancement.
