Two photographs illustrate that photography is one of the most dangerous professions. The two photographs show Palestinian youths throwing stone-throwing locks at Israeli military police. From these two photos, which one do you think is more visually striking? Obviously the first one, why? There is a famous saying for news documentaries, that is, "Shooting is not good enough because it is not close enough." "In scenes of intense conflict, the footage captured with a medium telephoto lens from a distance is far less impactful and immersive than the wide-angle footage captured at a wide angle.
The first photo was clearly taken with a wide-angle lens close to the youth, much closer than the second shot. But because the shooting distance is quite close, in this chaotic scene, if the dancing stone lock is not mastered, the photographer is unlucky.
According to the statistics of the "Committee to Protect Journalists", the death rate of war photojournalists is actually higher than that of fallen soldiers! Incredible, right?
