Photojournalism involves using cameras to visually document events and tell stories. Photojournalists are visual reporters who capture images of people, places, and things to illustrate facts, while writers provide context.

Careers in photojournalism include working for newspapers, magazines, advertising agencies, and wire services. Technical skills like operating cameras and creativity are important. Good photos have editorial value, simplicity, aesthetic quality, and use techniques like rule of thirds.
