Photo journalism is the idea of using an image to tell the story of any event visually instead of the written word. It gives people a more definite insight to an event because they can see it from themselves and make their own interpretation instead of being more or less told what to think from words. A picture is a fair representation of what has happenend in an event which gives people something to base their views on that hasn't be tampered with to create a false sense of judgement. One person that changed the face of photo journalism was Henri Cartier Bresson. He used his imagination and creativity to capture visual moments that he thought would be dectrimental to other people. He knew that he could get the idea of his work across to other people so they could see whats around them and make their own clear judgement of a picture. His technique of photography was envied by many as he was always at the right place at the right time to capture these shots.
To do this, he used one of the first cameras that became available at that time. The camera was publically realeased in the late 1920's. It was used to capture pictures from world war 2 and showed people what the war was like and gave them a chance to interpret what they were seeing.
