About Photojournalistic Drive

For photographers who are passionate about the images they make, and desire to tell stories with them.

You need not now, or ever, have worked as a photojournalist to be a member. It is a style, and a drive to make certain types of images, that will connect the members of this group. Beginners and pros, please feel welcome!

Photojournalism, documentary and street photography are what you will mainly see here, but the rules are a little loose on what fits, and what does not. Portraits are allowed, but it should be evident that there is something to be told. Landscape and nature photos probably won't work in this group. This is not the place for studio shots.

If your image would be/could be hypothetically picked up by a legitimate news publication, then the image will work here. You are encouraged to describe your photo in the same manner as writing a true cutline, but this is not a requirement. Extra bonus points if you do a cutline in AP style!

The group will be moderated and curated, so that members can rely on this as a place to share, learn, and meet other like minded shooters. Curating also tends to discourage dump and run "participants." Don't have your feelings hurt if your image is not accepted in the pool. Rejection is a real part of the PJ biz, and editors exist, like it or not.
