Photographs


 Action phototgraphs are the most common type of photograph to be used in news. The purpose is to represent what the story is about and create drama and description, as the written material merely gives the reader the facts.



Identification photographs, otherwise known as 'mugshots' are vital to avoid defamation claims. This would result from different people having the same name and so misidentification occuring, as was the case of Artemus Jones.

  1. These examples are OK - but one of the action shots is a family snapshot, and one of the ID picture may be a non posed action shot of some sort. I think you have got the point however.
