Produktinformationen zu „Snapper (ePub)“
The day that the closure of the News of the World was announced, will forever be regarded as the saddest in the entire history of journalism. Paul Barker was one of the handful of freelance photographers used on a full time basis by the paper, so when it came, the news was a devastating bombshell. After over 20 years working as a photojournalist, with 12 of those on the News of the World, he has been uniquely placed to give an insight into what it was like to work on a Sunday tabloid. From photography tips, to getting into events without a pass, 'Snapper' provides a fantastic, and highly amusing, window into the world of a national newspaper photographer. Rather than an expose into the phone hacking scandal that finally engulfed the paper, Snapper...Confessions of a News of the World Photographer, is a celebration of some of its finest moments. Recounted in a personal and engaging style, it is a series of often hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes. It chronicles some of the best known, as well as some of the more obscure stories, covered by what many have come to regard as the world's greatest newspaper.
Autoren-Porträt von Paul Barker
Paul Barker has worked as professional newspaper photographer since 1989, when he got caught in the middle of a riot whilst on work experience for a local paper. He rose through the ranks in the traditional way, freelancing for local papers the Telegraph and Argus and the Yorkshire Post, before moving on to a small local agency, then a large local agency, a time in London and then back north. Eventually he became a stringer for the Press Association for 5 years, then a contract freelance for Agence France Presse for 6 years. After that he moved on to work mainly for Sunday titles, mostly the News of the World and the Sunday Times. In over 20 years he has seen all the changes in the industry, from the technology involved to the style of stories covered and the way the whole business works. He has covered many major news and sporting events including The funeral of princess Diana, the Live 8 concert, European football championships and Champions League finals. Prior to becoming a professional photographer after finishing university, Paul spent two years traveling around America as an itinerant rock climber before getting a crew position on the yacht and sailing home. Whilst working for AFP he also ran and played in a Pink Floyd tribute band which went from playing in pubs of Bradford to being an international touring show. (Look out for these as books yet to be written.) Paul lives in the heart of Yorkshire's Bronte country near the village of Haworth and is married with 2 children. Besides photography and writing he enjoys potholing, bell ringing and small bore rifle shooting, in which he has competed at a high level winning various national titles and shooting for England.
