“Capturing the Story: Analyzing the Visual Devices in Professional Photojournalism”

Select three images taken by a professional photojournalist of their choice and write a 1000-word critical essay that breaks down those images from a perspective of visual devices. The essay should focus primary on the visual devices present in the images, the mechanics of how they function to engage the audience, and how they contribute to the overall context of storytelling. The best strategy for the written essay is to focus on how the mechanics of visual devices engage the audience. Avoid describing the image in detail, discussions around symbolism and too much historical context.
