“I was a witness and these images are my testimony. The events I recorded must not be forgotten and must not be repeated” (Nachtwey). Photojournalism is the art or practice of communicating information through photographs, especially in magazines. Photojournalism has evolved enormously from the beginning to today. Photojournalism developed during the Crimean War, evolved throughout the Golden Age, and eventually reached its present existence. Photojournalism was started during the Crimean War by a man named Carol Szathmari. Szathmari was born on January 11, 1812 into noble descent. He first studied painting, then became a very enthusiastic traveler. He began experimenting with photography in 1848, soon after filling a wagon with his supplies and following the war, capturing many battles and important moments. Roger Fenton was another photojournalist who took photos of the Crimean War. His mission was to collect evidence that contradicted war correspondent William Russell's description. Russell condemned the military's failure to provide sanitary living conditions for soldiers. Roger Fenton faced many challenges photographing the war for four months. Developing all of his photos on wet collodion plates with dirty water proved very demanding in the stifling heat. He was a great success and returned to London with 360 snapshots of the war between Turkey, Russia and England. The Crimean War laid the foundation for photojournalism and started a tradition that will continue into the future. The golden age of photojournalism occurred when photos began to be widely featured in magazines.
