Reportage Illustration: Visual journalism

Embury, Gary; Minichiello, Mario

Abstract

The power of reportage drawing is in the immediacy of the images that are created and the feeling of the illustrator's presence on location. Comparable in some ways to photojournalism, reportage illustrators are acting as visual journalists, proactively creating narrative work about issues and subjects, translating what they witness into handmade imagery. There is evidence that illustrations connect to people in powerful ways whether they are drawings created while embedded with troops in Afghanistan, documenting during a courtroom trial or documenting demonstrations. Reportage Illustration Visual Journalism covers practical information about tools, techniques and coping in various situations as well as interviews and advice from reportage artists working in the field.
