What qualities should a photojournalist possess?

1. Put yourself in the other's shoes. Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you.

At the moment when the subject's tears were about to flow out, too many photographers pushed the camera directly to take a close-up of their eyes. Think about whether you will feel better if you are photographed like this, not to mention that many interviewees have been traumatized.

Another example is that a reporter climbed into an ambulance before. This kind of reporter is too troublesome, so it is very important to have an empathetic reporter.

2. curiosity.

Teacher Wang Jianjian, the former editor-in-chief of China Times, once said, "If you see an ambulance in the street and you have no desire to follow it, then you may not be suitable for being a reporter."

3. wit.

When someone interferes with shooting, it is very important to react quickly, such as hiding the camera memory card and protecting yourself.

4. Don't push and pull the lens excessively.

People's eyes can't be pushed or pulled at will. Peng Zhong's photography is about how to pay attention to the lens, so too much pushing and pulling the lens will make people feel uncomfortable. Many domestic photographers will push and pull the lens too much, so they will feel unprofessional.

5. Picture sense.

If you can tell a story clearly with pictures or pictures, don't tell it in words. Pictures are more powerful than words.
