PHOTOJOURNALISM

This is of the first flag raising at Iwo Jima. The flag raising was an iconic moment in American history, as it showed the American troops coming together and truly proving that they are fighting for their country. The photographer put the American flag in the center, to show the main symbol. Photographer unknown. 

Taken by Gerda Taro, this young boy is wearing an Iberian Anarchist Federation Cap. It shows how powerful the Iberian Anarchist Federation was. She put him in the center, to show that he is the main focus of this picture. 

This iconic photo is of Jane Goodall with a baby chimpanzee. Jane Goodall was one of the first people to really care about animal rights. Here it shows her bonding with a baby chimp. The monkey's hand and her hand form symmetrical balance. Photographer unknown. 

I'm not sure who took this picture, but it is taken during the Great Depression in America. It shows the importance of how desperate people were for money, they would even sell their cars. The photographer framed it so that the main focus would be on the sign. The front of the car and the sign are brighter than the rest of the background, so that the viewer knows what the picture is about. 

Taken by Dickey Chapelle. This is of Fidel Castro talking with his companion Celia  Sanchez.  Dickey emphasized value in this picture.
