Following a theoretical discussion related to the relationship between photography and journalism as well as the artistic expression of these concepts with specific reference to the design principles of photography, the artistic aspect of these photographs and the photographic techniques creating that aspect are examined via several protest and demonstration photographs taken at various times and places that exemplify the aesthetic expression.
