Photo Journalism
In my opinion Photo Journalism is about capturing photos or real events will create meaning and provoke thought. It isn't about creating a family photo per se, It's about capturing a photo of something say, in the streets of london or on the top of a building. Henri Cartier Bouissan was the father of photo journalism. His camera allowed him to capture a perfect image in a second without having to wait that long. He literalyinvented decisive photography. Which was the art of waiting for that perfect moment to capture a photo.
