Photography has always been a tool for bearing witness. From the earliest documentary images to today's smartphone journalism, the camera has served those who seek to show the world as it is—and as it could be. In this course, you will learn to use photography not merely to illustrate stories, but to investigate them, to reveal what might otherwise remain unseen, and to hold power to account.

You do not need professional equipment or prior photography experience. What matters is learning to see. To observe the world with journalistic curiosity, to recognise what an image can communicate, and to understand your ethical responsibilities when taking photos.

Throughout the course, you will study how photographers have used images to challenge power, document injustice, and change public understanding. You will learn that photojournalism is not only for war correspondents and political reporters—it is for anyone willing to look carefully, ask difficult questions, and show others what they have found.
