The American News Agency, one of the three largest news agencies in the world, will no longer use its “Associated Press” (AP) Sony cameras from now on, pioneering a decisive transformation in news photography. The silence on the Sony shutter is the main reason for this decision. “The new mirrorless technology in Sony cameras allows for completely still photography. This means that our photojournalists can work in the environment without interfering with the surrounding scenery. ” AP Photography Director Jay David Ake said. “This is a big leap forward in photography.” The Associated Press has announced a business agreement with Sony, and you will…

By Anuruddha Lokuhapuarachchi The news of Associated Press’s decision to make Sony its official camera reminded me of an experience fourteen years ago. That was November 2006. At that time, Sri Lanka was not a good time for journalists. The Sri Lankan government, on the one hand, is waging war against the LTTE, and in parallel has launched a war front against journalists. My main responsibility at the time, working for the Reuters news service, was to take pictures of the war. Despite my long experience…

I was educated at Ananda College, Colombo for twelve years as a child and then studied drama, photography and journalism and later chose journalism as my career. He entered the media as an amateur writer and photographer and was a news photographer for a national newspaper.

Thereafter I became the Sri Lankan News Photographer for the International Reuters News Service. Under this, I received specialised training in international media services in Hong Kong and London. During that time, I was responsible for publicizing news photographs of the state of Sri Lanka and the Maldives around the world through the Reuters news service, especially near the events of the Sri Lankan civil war, and photographed areas of government forces as well as Tamil rebels. I escaped about seven fatal accidents there, and one time I was injured in a suicide bombing.
