HUMAN INTEREST
Human
interest is a portrait of a person's life that describes the atmosphere / mood
and raises sympathy from the person who sees it.
Initially,
human interest photography is more included in the part of photo journalism,
which describes life and human interaction with the environment, and then aims
to knock people's hearts to sympathize and do something to help the subject of
the photograph.
In
photojournalism, human interest is included in the feature section. This
section is usually inserted and not for headlines. Categories of human interest
are more about the lives of individuals or ordinary people that are rarely
reviewed.
Human
Interest is wide enough but often mixed with other categories such as Portrait
photography, culture photography (culture), street photography, travel
photography, conceptual photography.
Most
human interest photos are portraying people's lives with a weak economy or in
the interior, but the actual human interest is not limited to the subjects of
lower class society, but also includes a portrait of success from upper-class
society. Human interest photos can consist of one photo or a series of photos
that tell a story.
