Photojournalism | Images that tell stories
Photojournalism
Photojournalism is a form of journalism that uses photographs to tell a news story or document a particular event or situation. This visual art form has been practised since the introduction of cameras. Images captured through photojournalism are often iconic, emotionally engaging, and powerful.
In Kenya, this art form has a long and rich history, dating back to the early days of colonial rule. One of the main purposes of this activity is to raise awareness. Photojournalism is used to shed light on important issues and events that might otherwise go unnoticed. Photographs have the power to capture the attention of viewers and convey a message in a way that words alone cannot. They also shape public opinion- this provides a visual representation of events that can influence how people think and feel about a particular issue or event. This can be particularly effective when the images are emotionally compelling. Photojournalism acts as a perfect preservation of history, Photographs can serve as a historical record of events and can be used to document social, political, and cultural changes over time. Photojournalism can hold leaders accountable by capturing images of events or actions that might otherwise be hidden from public view.
