In this week, we were tasked with researching different style of photojournalism so we could get inspiration and also find out what style we like the most, which we can then possibly use for our final assignment.
The style I decided I liked the most was documentary photojournalism because I like the way that it captures real life situations that seem to be more real and natural. Through this, I feel like it helps to see real emotion and more authentic journalism that can tell a story, almost without any words even being needed.
I researched multiple journalists who used to use this style a while ago because I felt like they were able to capture past history excellently. They made you understand how everybody was feeling at those times in the past.
Because of this research, I was able to decide that I want to do my assignment with this style and try to capture emotions on peoples faces to help progress a story about how a football match can affect everybody, including fans, players and managers. To do this I want to go to multiple matches at around the national league level and get a large sample size that can show how everyone is being affected by the games.
