Feature Photography

As noted in class, determining exactly what feature photography is challenges even the most seasoned professional photojournalists.  In fact the National Press Photographer Association simply defines features for their monthly clip contests like this:

Feature/Single PictureCoverage of events and subjects that don't fit in Spot News, General News, Sports or Illustration. Single images only.

If you are still having trouble understanding the difference, please read the Features chapter in the textbook and look at some examples from past winners of the NPPA's winning photos:  LINK
