Role you're checking

Photojournalist

Creator

Photojournalists in India document news for print, wire, and digital — embedding with election campaigns, covering disasters, filing frames to PTI Photo, AFP India, Reuters India, and AP Photo within minutes of an event breaking. The work is split between staff photographers at The Hindu, Indian Express, Times of India, Mid-Day, and Hindustan Times, and freelance stringers accredited to international wire desks in Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai. Unlike portrait or commercial photography, the discipline is governed by strict NPPA-equivalent ethics: no staging, no post-processing that alters factual content, and accurate IPTC metadata with captions that stand alone as journalism. The craft lineage in India runs through Raghu Rai (Magnum, India's most decorated photojournalist) and Sucheta Das (Reuters, pandemic coverage), and remains one of the few creative careers where a single frame can move national policy.
