Photojournalism is a powerful form of visual storytelling that captures and communicates real-life events, emotions, and narratives through the lens of a camera. It goes beyond mere aesthetics, aiming to document and convey the essence of moments, issues, and human experiences. With a commitment to truth and authenticity, photojournalism serves as a dynamic medium that not only freezes moments in time but also serves as a catalyst for understanding, empathy, and social awareness.
