What exactly is photojournalism? Photojournalism is a type of journalism that includes pictures instead of words to tell a story. Photojournalism should make the audience feel like they are a part of the story and it should show emotion. Photojournalism is everywhere. Whether it be in the news, newspapers, magazines, social media, or even billboards. Photojournalism is a part of our everyday lives.
A photographer will “shoot a wide range of subjects” as photojournalist, Jason Henske explained in his video_____. He also explains that each day, photos that you take can all be different from the previous day. That is why I find photojournalism so interesting, because you never know what you’ll see and what you’ll capture on a camera. To me, photojournalism can be anything and everything.
It is important to know the history of photojournalism because it is important to know how photojournalism started and how drastically photojournalism has changed throughout the years. Just like the video stated in “Why Study History”, “understanding the past is the key to understanding the present”. This quote really stuck out to me. Without history, we wouldn’t be where we are in this world today. It is important for us to look back and see the progress we made in this world, whether it be with general history or with photojournalism. History helps us appreciate everything that we have.
