photo journal

Visual memory book

A photo journal is a record kept primarily through photographs rather than written entries, documenting experiences, travels, or daily life.

The images may be accompanied by brief captions or notes.

Photo journals appear as personal projects, travel documentation, or artistic endeavors: She kept a photo journal of her year abroad.

Also written as one word: photojournal.
