Documentary photography attempts to capture truthful and objective representations of real situations and people with minimal distortion. Social documentary photography specifically aims to bring attention to and potentially change aspects of society by recording human beings in natural, unposed conditions. Photojournalism combines images and text to tell factual news stories about timely events at local to international levels through pictures that provide a fair representation of recent occurrences.
