PHOTO JOURNALISM & FUSION PHOTOGRAPHER in KERALA, INDIA

From a website developer to a photojournalist currently based in Kerala, India.

Gibi Sam an empathetic storyteller.

My inspiration comes from observing the Angel of City or Angels of the Streets…. I believe Street photography can focus on people and their behavior in public, thereby also recording people’s history. During my self-study, I became fascinated with the genre of street photography, which involves taking candid, unposed photographs of people in the street, performing various banal or ordinary activities, such as walking the dog or talking to a friend.

Then I realized all these are also related to photojournalism.

My responsibility as a photojournalist is to document situations for the world to see. My images bear witness to realities that others may never experience.

I bring the visual images of a story that backup a writer’s words.

My recent work as a photojournalist I was covering live coverage of the worst floods in a century in the Indian state of Kerala which have killed 400 people and forced Lahks of people to relief camps in the month of Aug 2018. Floods, Landslides, Broken Bridges and Deaths were the main coverage as a Photojournalist. 2 weeks of non stop of coverage in a district called Idukki . I also had the first opportunity to click the opening of the shutters from The highest Arch Dam in Asia that covers across ther Periyar after 26 years.

As a photojournalist I photograph an event unfolding a piece of history that captures a distinct moment in time and lets the viewer think about what happened before and after the shutter clicked. I always placed myself in the SUBJECT’S shoe in order to understand the story and the emotion that are to be shared.

“ if you understand the story

And you understand why you are telling the story and why it’s important, everything else will fall into place.” Liz Baylen
