Photojournalism in black & white

Brief

Photojournalists are journalists working with pictures instead of words. That comes with the same ethical framework as journalists, aimed at the conveyance of news stories with honesty and impartiality. The history of photojournalism is particularly associated with black and white imagery. One thinks of Robert Capa’s shots of the D-Day landings, or Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother shot from the Great Depression era. Photojournalism can be anything that you consider to be news, on a local, national or international level, and addressed with that same commitment to the ethics of the journalist.
