photo diary

Visual daily record

A photo diary is a record of events or experiences documented primarily through photographs rather than written entries.

Unlike a traditional diary's prose, a photo diary lets images tell the story—capturing daily life, travel, or a project's progress: She kept a photo diary of her pregnancy.

The format has flourished with smartphones and social media.
