My take on photojournalism

        There are various photojournalist in the world that are incredibly talented. But three of them really stood out to me. These include, Acacia Johnson, William Daniels, and Esther Ruth Mbabzi. The reason why I chose these specific photojournalists is the fact that each of them had a they're own style that I personally am interested in and can relate to in so many ways.  Acacia Johnson, July 23. 2019 Image Source:  https://www.acaciajohnson.com/  Photos from personal work "Sea Ice of Stories"     To start we have, Acacia Johnson. Not only is she a photographer but also a writer. Johnson's style of work focuses a lot on the relationship between people and and nature. Her work is very aesthetic and honest.

Not only is he playing the accordion but by looking at his face you could tell the type of emotion that he's going through. He's tears portray such strong emotions of how he's feeling.

I believe what this image is trying to tell all of us is how much this man has such deep appreciation and respect towards FDR. Especially based on the knowledge that I already know, where FDR has was able to support majority of the African American people on getting a job especially during those times. Thus why this man feels so deeply hurt with the death of FDR, because of the person he is and what he has left behind to him personally. Three principles that this photographer I believed h...
