Photojournalism photography and stock photography are different styles or approaches in photography. Photojournalism focuses on telling new or describing real-life events through one or more photographs. This means in photojournalism the focus is a relevant situation or event that is depicted through people, landscapes or objects related to the event.
On the other hand, stock photography focuses on taking photographies for specific agencies or companies which often paid the photographer regularly. Due to this, this type of photography includes real-life photographies, but also photographs of models or created scenarios. Thus, it is false photojournalism and stock photography are essentially the same.
