Photojournalism is quite interesting because it shows how war affects people but not in the way of dead body's or war fields but of the people who are affected by the wars for example the image below shows a woman who has just fond out that her husband has died
Don McCullin's most celebrated image is his portrait of a dazed American soldier, entitled Shell-shocked US Marine, Hue, Vietnam. It was taken during the battle for the city of Hue in 1968 and, in its stillness and quiet intensity, says as much about the effects of war on the individual psyche as many of McCullin's more graphic depictions of conflict and carnage. The eyes that stare out beneath the grimy helmet are not staring at the camera lens, but beyond it, into nowhere.
A lone anti-war protester confronts police in Whitehall during the Cuban Missile Crisis, London, 1962
I quite like the image above because it make you wonder what the sign says since the man is protesting against war. also the how the protester in in the middle of the image just sitting in front of a line of police with almost all of then have serious faces.
