The Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles recognizes the work of photojournalists in the area every year.  These 17 images in the folder below are the 2022 winners from SCNG (Southern California News Group). This news group includes several newspapers, including some in the Inland Empire.  (One of these photos is taken in Fontana!)

2. Pick a photo that you think is great and answer the following questions IN COMPLETE SENTENCES:

• • What do you see in the photo? Describe what you see as if describing it to someone who cannot see it.
  • What camera angle did the photographer use? Which rules of composition do you see in the photo and how? Or did they break a rule?  What other camera or lighting techniques are demonstrated?
  • What story is this photo telling? Give me your best guess as to what is going on and what is the backstory. What sort of mood or message can we get from the photo?
  • Why did you select this photo?  What makes it great?
