The vast potential available in the field of photography must be properly exploited, given the immense importance of images in persuasion, the completion, and documentation of information. He pointed out that artificial intelligence has established itself in various media fields and has become a reality in communication and media work, as well as in the lives of journalists. This requires us to adapt to this transformation.
Al-Yami emphasized that the workshop will address some of the negatives among those interested in photography, most importantly how to avoid mistakes that can weaken a photo report, and how a photographer can choose the right angles whenever present at an event, in order to improve their work and be creative in it.
Al-Yami expressed his gratitude to Sputnik for its continued participation in UNA's efforts to develop journalists in OIC member states by organizing various workshops and exchanging professional expertise globally.
It's worth noting that the workshop is part of a series of training and educational programs organized by the Federation in cooperation with Sputnik, with the aim of enhancing the capabilities of journalists in member states and increasing their awareness of the rapid transformations in media content production.
