Fairfax

Form
DSLR camera-to publish their magazines and a couple of the national newspapers, that covers 85 locations up and down New Zealand. Their main form of media is magazines, local newspapers, and on-line media.

Fairfax have their own photographers that go out to different locational sites and take photographs of the daily lives of what has just happened or what is happening in the community and big events that are to come. They have a huge archive of images  that have occurred from daily events of people.

When we met up with Chris and Laurence, they said "never force your subject (people) on what you want, when it comes to taking photographs, just go with what ever but be fair and humble, and think quick".

Content
The photographer's capture a lot of emotion, and expression in their subjects. Their images can be a mix of impromptu artistic, photo journalistic, sporty and big events that have happened over a weekend. Their images are significant to the stories being told to be able to convey a strong message to the public. The photographers have to think quickly in capturing a moment to allow their subject matter of telling most of their stories.
