5. What has changed in these two
images.
This first image was a photo that was taken of a
young girl who lost her father in a 15 year old
conflict. This photo doesn’t seem to be edited that
much and it is just a normal image of a girl who
doesn't’t look different to anyone else.
This second image was taken by Jack Harries a
young photographer/video maker. You can tell that
the photographer has edited this photo. Especially
his eyes. This man doesn’t look like every normal
person. He looks like he lives in poverty and looks
very depressed. So this photo is Enhanced.

6. How has Documentary photography
changed over time.
During the Victorian-era, Documentary photography was a lot harder than it is nowadays,
mostly down to the equipment that was available for use. Cameras used to be bulky and
noticeable, with slow films, and because of this people used to stop and look at the
camera, usually making for a very staged shot
