Photojournalism is the process of storytelling using the medium of photography as your main

story telling device. While a journalist will use their pen and paper to tell stories, a

photojournalist will use their camera to capture the visual representation of a story.

Photojournalist pay varies by medium. Television photojournalists made mean wages of $45,000

in 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics(1). Most, photojournalism client are;

magazines, newspaper, and documentary movies. In fact, photojournalism revenue streams

depends on how good the picture, and where the photo been taken. For example, if a

photojournalism been taken in war zone, like in Syria in this days it will cost more than taking a

photo in London.

and money like Joe McNally. Still, a photography can work full time in newspaper, or magazine,

This practice started in 1853 when the first known photojournalist landed on the scene.

Carol Szathmari, a Romanian painter and photographer, documented the Crimean War. This

engraving technique was used in the American Civil War as well to print the photographs of

Mathew Brady in the publication Harper’s weekly. (3). with the advent of the first 35mm

Leica camera in 1925, as well as the invention of the first commercial flash bulbs in 1927,

the stage was set for the “golden age of photojournalism”. This so-called “golden age” is

considered to span the 1930s to the 1960s.(4)
