ATTENTION EDITORS – PICTURE 5 OF 16 FOR PACKAGE ‘SAFEDOM CONDOMS’ A worker watches condoms on a production line at the Chinese condom manufacturer Safedom’s factory in the town of Zhaoyuan, located 100 kn (62 miles) south of the city of Yantai, Shandong Province February 6, 2012. Safedom turned its back on the low-margin, guaranteed-business sales to the Chinese government’s family planning program 11 months ago, and decided to shift to where the money is: the higher end of the general public market. Claiming to be the fourth-largest condom maker in China by revenue, after three foreign brands, they are hoping to sell one billion condoms this year with the launch of its Take Me condom, aimed at women consumers.

Tras mi apuesta del día antes de San Valentín en que dedicaba un post a la fabricación de muñecas hinchables en China, he decidido mostrar este trabajo de Reuters en el que se muestra el proceso en una fábrica de condones en ese mismo país. No hay ninguna duda de que los condones también pegan mucho con este romántico 14 de febrero y hago un llamamiento a su utilización en este día señalado como método de lucha contra las enfermedades de transmisión sexual, en especial el devastador VIH. Aunque hay que tener en cuenta que este reportaje nos ha llegado para ilustrar el aniversario del plan de planificación familiar aprobado por el gobierno chino y cómo ha afectado a la industria del condón. Toda relación con el día de San Valentín es pura coincidencia.

Este post también sirve como ejemplo de reportaje estándar de prensa como lo era la anterior entrega “Una fábrica de muñecas hinchables”. Os muestro todas las fotos que ha enviado la agencia con su pie original. Así podéis ver un típico encargo y cómo finaliza el fotoperiodista. En el ejemplo de hoy también os incluyo el aviso que envia la agencia Reuters para alertar a los editores abonados de que se comienza a enviar el paquete… de imágenes claro.

En pocas horas comenzará el romántico día de San Valentín y he pensado hacer una edición de las típicas imágenes repletas de enamorados y corazoncitos que nos llegan cada 14 de febrero enviadas por las agencias. En 2009 ya hice una entrega de este tipo titulada “San Valentín”. Pero ha llegado este reportaje de la agencia Reuters de una fábrica de muñecas hinchables china y me ha parecido un contrapunto interesante a este día de los enamorados.

Desde el punto de vista fotoperiodístico, este me parece un buen ejemplo de lo que es el típico reportaje para diario en el que en una sola visita se realizan una serie de fotografías para ilustrar una noticia. Unas 15 fotografías, variadas en encuadre, correctas en técnica y estética, bien documentadas, con objetos, acción y personas… Simple pero completo.

La agencia Reuters ha enviado hoy estas imágenes tomadas por un único fotógrafo que han llamado la atención de Ana, mi compañera becaria de la mesa de fotografía. En una de ellas se ve una gran piscina de los famosos chocolates M&M’s (que se derriten en tu boca y no en tu mano) en la que se podría bañar perfectamente una persona.

Estas son las típicas fotografías de recurso que utilizamos en la mesa para ilustrar temas económicos sobre empresas o sectores de producción. La noticia para la que fueron enviadas estas fotos trata de la inversión que realizará Mars, la multinacional que fabrica los M&M’s, en una planta francesa para incrementar en un 20% la producción de estas golosinas. En los pies podéis ver como se etiquetan las fotos con las tags “Food Business”, señal de que se trata de un tema económico.

Pero me he animado ha compartir estas fotos por lo interesante de ver el proceso de fabricación de los famosos M&M’s y para que soñéis en sumergiros en esa piscina de chocolatinas y comerlas a puñados como si se tratara de la fábrica de Willy Wonka.
