Photojournalists

Even though photojournalists make a lot of documentary material that can also serve for sociological and historical purposes, I don't think they can be classified as pure straight or artistic photography; they don't seem to be using any manipulated compositions or effects, but their photographs are outstandingly beautiful. I have to acknowledge that even though I couldn't find anything wrong with any of the photojournalist artists, I just felt more touched by Eisenstaedt, Andreas Feininger, Werner Bischof and Gordon Parks. They all made, in my opinion, a great compilation of iconic images that can tell everything about the event or the person they're portraying in just one flash.
