Feb. 9: Week in Photography
📸Your lens to the internet's most powerful photographs 📸 MOST POWERFUL PHOTO OF THE WEEK Evan Vucci / AP Photo It's the picture that President Donald Trump has been waiting for since the impeachment inquiry was first initiated last fall by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Here, Trump proudly holds a newspaper with a headline that reads "Trump acquitted" during the 68th annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC, on Feb. 6. This moment comes after the president was acquitted on Wednesday on both articles of impeachment, paving the way for what's sure to be a heated election season in 2020.
📸FOR YOUR 👀 ONLY: BTS @BUZZFEED NEWS WITH THE CHEERLEADERS OF NETFLIX'S CHEER It feels like the whole world has fallen in love with the Navarro team after the Netflix debut of the docuseries Cheer.
Coach Monica Aldama came by the BuzzFeed News office with some of the cheerleaders to do an interview for our morning show, and of course, we wanted photos too.
Taylor Miller / BuzzFeed News The photo shoots for our morning show happen fast — usually less than five minutes before the guest has to be on a live show. There are almost always multiple guests to photograph, and they are often coming from other press appearances, so the studio has to be on top of its game to deliver images to the news desk on time.
We spoke with Taylor Miller, our staff photographer for the day, about this shoot in particular.
Taylor Miller / BuzzFeed News "To prepare for this shoot, I made my lighting a little more high-key in order to get their outfits to pop. My favorite part of the shoot was when Jerry was mat-talking to everyone while we were shooting. He really is as sweet and energetic as you see him on TV."
Taylor Miller / BuzzFeed News "If you are starting out in portrait photography, my best advice would be that capturing the right moment and feeling is more important than getting the lighting exactly how you want it. You can have the best lighting in the world but still not have a great portrait of the moment isn’t there."
📸THIS WEEK'S PHOTO STORIES 📸 Our first photo stories this week focus on the coronavirus outbreak that has infected more than 34,000 people across the globe and killed over 800. Haunting pictures show the current state of Wuhan, China, which was ordered to go on lockdown by the government two weeks ago, after the virus had been first reported there.. Next, we take a journey into the archives to see how people have dealt with epidemics throughout history, to offer historical context to current events.
And in honor of Black History Month, our last story explores the vibrant history of the Harlem Renaissance through pictures that capture the sights and scenes of the neighborhood during this quintessential time of American history.
