Photo Story- Humans of Philomath

Sarah Woosley One of the most well-known faces around Philomath is Sarah Woosley. Sarah is the Associate Director at the Philomath Youth Activities Club, more commonly known as PYAC.

Photographer of the Week

I chose to research photographer Lee Jeffries for this assignment. The reason I chose Lee Jeffries is because his photos really caught my eye. They are so distinctly his work and I think that is really cool for a photographer to have. His "claim to fame" is photographing black and white images of homeless people all around the world.

I really like how the background clearly shows that it is a meet with the crowd and the other runners but they don't take away from the main subject. The main runner's whole body is in the frame and both of his feet are off the ground so I did a good job of freezing the action which was the main goal of the assignment. It reflects what I learned in photojournalism by his expression. A huge part of good photojournalism photos is the expression of the subject. Not only does the main subject have a good facial expression but you can tell the other boys do to. It is also a good example of how to crop a photo for the paper because that is also super important. There is no clutter! And lastly, the main thing that I learned this term is that good photojournalism tells a story and I think this photo does that. I think the m
