Want to learn what it's like to be a professional photojournalist? Photojournalism is photography that creates images in order to tell a story, either about a social, political or personal event that is going on in the community. Instructor Ariel Soto is a photojournalist in San Francisco for the SF Bay Guardian and SFWeekly and will be sharing her skills with each student so they can learn to take the fundamental types of images used in photojournalism, such as features, news and sports photography.
