Photography is an ART, and ART is an interpretation of what the artist sees, feels and documents. Observing light, angles, composition and style may come naturally to you, but usually it will require research to develop further inspiration and to give you new ideas.
As a photojournalist you will need to capture the action as it happens, but having an initial plan as to what shots are required shots and what photos will tell the story is important. In order to get ideas flowing and to develop that plan sometimes it is useful to have inspiration.
