The woman photojournalist that I chose to research was Paula Bronstein. According to the book “Paula Bronstein Photojournalist”, an interesting fact about Paula is that she “ is one of the world’s leading female photojournalists with a career that spans over three decades”. Bronstein is from Boston, Massachusetts, but she has travelled all around the world for her work. According to Getty Images “Bronstein worked for newspapers including The Hartford Courant and The Chicago Tribune before moving overseas to Thailand in 1998 to cover the Asian region including Afghanistan and Pakistan”. While she has worked at many different locations, Bronstein is most known for her work with Getty Images where she worked for about 15 years.
According to paula “Paula is currently freelance, her images have been published in almost every globally recognized publication and exhibited in numerous countries”. As Lynsey Addario states in the video Lynsey Addario, Institute Fellow and Award-Winning Photographer by InstituteWomenGender, “most of photojournalism isn’t actually about photography, it’s about relationships”. This fact is so significant because females tend to be much better at establishing relationships with certain populations including other woman.
As Professor Nordell states in his video Women Photojournalists “…women in many different professions have encountered barriers unlike any that their male counterparts have endured”. Gender discrimination in the workplace has been a common occurrence all around the world ever since women joined the work force. To this day, women are discriminated against by men in their own careers because of their gender. According to the article Discrimination Against Women in the Workplace: Everything You Need to Know by Up Counsel, “Examples of discrimination against women in the workplace are when a woman is rejected for employment, when a woman loses a promotion to a less-qualified male employee, or when a woman is harmed in any way because of her gender”.
According to the article Female police officers vs Male. Why does the discrimination still exist? By Liana, “Female police officers experience a higher level of stress vs. male policemen. This is because of existing gender stereotypes, which have a bad psychological effect on female police officers”. Women police officers are often not taken seriously by both civilians and their co-workers. This kind of treatment is not uncommon in the world today as females are often overlooked.
As stated in the article Said to Lady Journos, phrases like “Can I speak to a man?” are often used to discriminate against women of any field. Women are sometimes treated as objects in the workforce. They are often overlooked, ignored, and sometimes even sexually harassed. While this treatment may not be as prevalent today as it was a century ago, it stills occurs all around the world.

Texture: In this photograph, you can really see the texture of the women's skin and hair. Both of which appear to be rough. The women's skin is covered in dirt and her hair appears frizzy and untaimed and there are wet spots on her cheeks from tears implying that this woman has been through something traumatic,
Quality of Light: The lighting in this photograph is rather dramatic. The subject, who is clearly in despair, is looking up towards the light source. The light source makes the image appear more optimistic, as if the subject now has hope.
Keep it Simple: The photograph is very simple and not cluttered. Attention is immediately drawn to the subjects face and nowhere else. The dark background also helps to draw the viewer's attention tho the woman.
I chose this image because it portrays a seemingly battered or abused woman. In my opinion, this photograph goes great with the idea of gender discrimination. This photo may portray exactly how one of the women who have been discriminated against feels.

Contrast Appropriate: There are a lot of contrasting colors in this photograph. The dark colors in the background along with the subject's hair directly contrast with the lighter color of her skin and paint. Overall the contrast emphasize the subject's natural beauty
Feeling: The image creates a happy feeling. The bright colors are rather cheerful and happy. The subject has a slight smile which adds to the cheerfulness of the photograph.
Black and White or color? The image is in color, which really makes it pop. The subject stands out to the viewer with the bright colors painted on her face and the fabric of her shirt.
I chose this photograph because it went along with the theme of empowering women. This photograph represents women of other countries as well as women in America who are faced with adversities and still must maintain a positive outlook.
