David Guttenfelder
He uses only an IPhone to capture his images and shares them on instagram. I really like this idea as he doesn't attract as much attention by taking photo's with an iphone as he does with using a professional camera. This allows him to capture the descisve moment alot more easy than other photographers.
He focuses on humanity's day to day life and their struggles whether it during war time or out of it. He manages to capture the raw humaity of the subject, bringing deep emotion to the viewer.
I think the fact that he uses an iphone and instagram is a really innovative photojournalism technique, allowing images toi be placed straight away onto the internet, thus whilst being in dangerous places he can put images up instantly before they can be taken off him or lost.
