Child Abuse Prevention

Haven't blogged for a while and thought I'd put up a recent photojournalism shot.

This is one I shot while out looking for features one day recently. April is Child Abuse Awareness Month and the kick-off for our community was the next morning so the photo was very fitting.

I went with a low angle and a wide lens to give a sense of importance to the scene as well as to fill the frame better and remove any unnecessary elements from the photo. Caption below.
