There are many photographers out there in the world that will risk their life's trying to get their word out. Many of them die but also survive through the things they have to go through.
For my photojournalist that I decided to research was Javier Manzano because when I was going trough his website I found his pictures that where outstanding. Javier Manzano was a very famous photographer, and film maker. He was born in Mexico and moved to the United States which his family when he was 18.
When he came to the USA, he started to photograph the issues that was going on when people where crossing the border. He also was photographing the army and to see what was going on. And won 2 awards of the best photos in 2006 and 2003.
He continued doing his job untill 2009 when he closed his doors to his last employer.
He was very happy to what he was doing because he knew that he was changing something to the world. Because people knew that it wasn't easy crossing the border and that people faced struggles to start a new life and to see there loved ones that live on the other side.
All in all he was a very powerful photojournalist who was very inspiring to many other photographers and me. He makes me want to travel and photograph things that are happening across the world.
