• What is it?

Documentary Photography is a narrative or
story being told through photographs that
involves real events to provide a factual
record or report (and sometimes this is
complimented with text).
Sub Genres Task
• On your table is a series of photographs.
• Around the room is different headings for sub genre’s.
• In your groups use the blu tack provided to put one
image into each category
• In your groups select an image to discuss looking at the
technical, lighting, compositional and contextual
information behind the image.
Key Points
• ‘Document’ means evidence = official, to be
trusted, not to be questioned…
• Documentary as signifier of truth but what of
re-presentation??
• Documentary is intimate – it assumes a bond
between viewer and image and it is charged
with showing the world as it really is
Documentary photography has always had the power to shock,
to inform, to change opinion and to persuade yet the very term
can be ambiguous and the photographer always chooses a
particular frame and moment in time
Early documentary was often for identification –
documenting criminals
Or racial types
Henri Cartier-Bresson like
Doisneau is seen as a father
of photojournalism and also
street photography. His style
is often decisive and always
candid

whose focus was on the everyday from a
critical perspective
Simon Norfolk’s work crosses the line between fine
art and photo journalism, often shooting locations
that are war torn or where atrocities were commited

Editor's Notes

  1. We now see these types of images as leading to negative stereotypesInterestingly Nanook was proved to be a fake
  2. She photographed three women, one hour (Julie), one day (Tecla) and one week (Saskia) after giving birth. During a visit to Portugal in 1994, she made portraits of four bullfighters immediately after the fight.
  3. Rachel Papo - Desperately Perfect
