When Ansel Adams exposed a photographic plate or piece of
  film, he thought about the light, perspective, exposure and
  so on. He would often manipulate the development process to
  maximize the dynamic range of his negatives. Printing the
  negative was an exercise in photo-manipulation mostly
  through dodging and burning.

Photojournalism
 
  Photojournalism: A Complete Guide
  https://petapixel.com/what-is-photojournalism/
  Photojournalism tells a story not in thousands of words but
  in a single photo (or a short series of photos). Just as a
  written news story presents a complete picture by providing
  an overview, a thesis, subjects, and various points of view,
  photojournalism achieves this same objective
  pictographically.
  Many types of photojournalism exist, and there are just as
  many ways to practice it. From news to features, photo
  stories to portraits, from documenting wars to local news
  and sports, photojournalism represents a category as broad
  as journalism itself. What remains constant throughout is a
  dedication to unbiased, honest reporting. Photojournalism
  aims to present the facts, to provide a picture of reality,
  to inform.

Photo Assignment - Telling a Story
  Photojournalism aims to present the facts, to provide a
  picture of reality, to inform.
  Capture an image or a sequence of images that tells a story.
  Perhaps something in your neighborhood or community. You
  want the image(s) to hold the viewer's attention and have an
  impact.

  A stereo pair consists of two pictures, one from the
  perspective of the left eye and one for the right. Even
  though the two pictures may look very similar, they are not
  identical. During viewing, the left eye sees the left image
  and the right eye the right; then the brain fuses the two so
  you perceive depth.
