For many photojournalists, the transition into shooting video has been a path paved with slight trepidation and hesitation. There seems to be a lot of pressure for video to automatically be part of a shooter\u2019s repertoire of skills and producing video content, along with traditional photo-essays, now seems to be expected on assignments. It\u2019s been a difficult evolution for many.<\/p>\n
Some ten years ago, at the beginning of my career, I was to be found filing slides and prints away in cabinets at the Magnum office in London, during a one-year internship. I overheard no conversations about \u2018multimedia\u2019, \u2018Final Cut\u2019 or \u2018DSLR video\u2019. Digital photography was still in its relative infancy amongst professional photojournalists and attention was still mostly on film.<\/p>\n
Fast-forward to 2014 and the landscape of photojournalism has changed drastically. In the first 10 years of my career as a freelance photographer, my goal has changed from primarily being a photojournalist telling stories with stills, to now using all tools at my disposal, including video, to tell my stories on a \u2018multimedia\u2019 platform.<\/p>\n
Like many, I have started to use more and more video in my work over the past four to five years. I have tried to develop my photography and video side-by-side with one another, rather than in conflict. One of my most recent projects is a good example of this.<\/p>\n
In late 2013 I received my sixth grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, which funds projects that highlight underreported issues around the world. Our latest collaboration focused on issues surrounding pollution in India. The Pulitzer Center highly encourages its grant applicants to incorporate multiple forms of story-telling into their projects, so those which combine photography, video and writing are favoured. This pressure to incorporate other forms of story-telling \u2013 in my case, video \u2013 has pushed my work on further and helped me discover new ways to tell the stories I want to cover.
