Photojournalism is the images and photos that we take every single day from wars, weddings, happy/sad/angry moments, and using them to tell a story in a visual perspective. Just by looking at these images it all tells a story about whatever may have been going on at that present time or to the person or people in the image. As the saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words", and by looking at an image many can tell a story by just looking at an image. Photojournalism is all about telling a story to those who will see your images without having to write what was going on even though some may have some basic captions.

Photojournalism is all about showing an individuals way
of capturing, describing and explaining to others what words often fail
to do.Sometimes it is hard to speak or write what you would like to say or do but an image will show and tell so much of what you would like to say but in a visual format. It can show an individual's personal feeling from pride, happiness, pain, hurt, depression and so much more feelings.
