PSA GuidelinesPSA Nature Photography Definition PSA Nature Organization “Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict observations from all branches of natural history, except Anthropology and Archeology, in such a fashion that a well informed person will be able to identify the subject material and to certify as to its honest presentation. The story-telling value of a photograph must be weighed more than the pictorial quality. Human elements shall not be present, except on the rare occasion where those human elements enhance the nature story. The presence of scientific bands on wild animals is acceptable. Photographs of artificially produced hybrid plants or animals, mounted specimens, or obviously set arrangements, are ineligible, as is any form of manipulation that alters the truth of the photographic statement. ("Authentic Wildlife" is defined as one or more organisms living free and unrestrained in a natural or adopted habitat. Therefore, photographs of zoo animals or game farm animals are not eligible for the PSA Wildlife medal.).” This means no garden flowers, no montages, no telephone poles or wires, no fences, etc... 2005 PSA Guidelines PSA Photojournalism Photography Definition Photojournalism Division (PJD) Overview “Photojournalism images shall consist of pictures or sequences with informative content and emotional impact, including human interest, documentary and spot news. The journalistic value of the photograph shall be considered over pictorial quality. In the interest of credibility, photographs which misrepresent the truth, such as manipulation to alter the subject matter, or situations which are set up for the purpose of photography, are unacceptable in Photojournalism. (“Human Interest” images depict people in an interactive, emotional, or unusual situation, excluding sports ACTION). Photojournalism (PJ) is devoted to recording current events or situations to preserve them for the future. News, features, man and man's environment, human interest - all are included. The PJ Division provides an opportunity for photographers to learn to capture events effectively (whether for family records, a private collection of historical happenings, or publication) and to share these images with fellow photographers. Photojournalists contribute to the world's archives for future generations.” |
