Each time I photograph old people, I am particularly drawn to their skin, the beauty of their skin.

What you see in these images are a natural part of the ageing process. As people age, their skin becomes drier, thinner and less elastic.

How can photojournalists document hardship without reducing people to symbols of suffering?

Can crisis photography hold attention without relying on shock, humiliation, or spectacle?

In "Making the world a better place - one camera ‘click’ at a time" by @AmogunlaFemi , the article reflects on what constructive journalism looks like in photojournalism, arguing that images do not have to center shock or despair to tell the truth. Drawing on his reporting in Nigeria, including work on vaccine access for people with disabilities, Amogunla argues for a more deliberate practice: research the story deeply, build trust with subjects, avoid dehumanising frames, and photograph both the problem and the efforts to address it.

The broader point is a serious one for visual journalism: framing is not neutral, and ethical photo reporting requires more than documenting suffering. It requires showing people without robbing them of their humanity.

@ruffydfire I read quite a good number of comments here,then laughed. How many in those political spaces today studied political science? But should that define their performances? I guess No. 'Putting things to you' is not an insult. Give your evidence and go if you have one.

What does it mean to be a constructive journalist?
And how does that translate to photojournalism?

I never had the courage to write / perform poetry.

But my son? He’s all I’m not.

So, these days we support him as much as we can.
