Photojournalism
Besides telling several stories, photographs
can denounce, teach, explain, try to improve, different realities
of those who see them.
It's with photojournalism that the informative slope of photography

We wait for your histories, accusations, informations, realities.
Shows us a photograph with information.
Results will show on the next newsletter and be published on the
site. See how to participate >>>.
