Good public relations photographs makes an editor say: "we've got to use this one!" If you are a public relations photographer that is worth a lot to your organization, because photography supports the public relations team in the agency, for example. We mostly find that a good public relations picture is worth thousands of words. The relationship between public relations and journalism is driven by good, quality photographs. Assume your public relations package landing on a busy editor's desk, where by there is more than enough press releases and so forth.
So how does he/she (the editor) choose? How can the editor get temptered to go for your story? Surely, a great picture is one of the ways to convince even the most cynical editor to go for your story. As a public relations photographer, you should always have an impression of good photographs in mind - i mean the nature of good and plausible images should dominate your concise mind, whether you be at conferences, seminars and other public relations events. Let your photographs tell something about you as an individual and your organisation as well. Get the true story into the picture, and get the benefit of advancing both your organisation and your photography potentials.
