A Photojournalistic image must have the impact that will make the reader want to know more about the story being reported . A good image very often becomes a cultural icon of a particular event. Improving the Photojournalist's “Eye” and “Vision”, to capture the drama & emotion, suspense & excitement, beauty & ugliness, in newer and interesting ways is the crucial component of this programme. The course is entirely digital, with great emphasis on the use of current technology in photography.
