Documentary Photography
Documentary photography is aimed at capturing events and settings, whether they’re historically significant or part of everyday life, to create a visual record.
Documentary photography encompasses a wide range of photos that seek to depict the world as it is, whether through panoramic shots of wartime scenes or candid close-ups of people in everyday situations. These images serve as informative records, shedding light on often overlooked aspects of modern life and sometimes finding a place in history.
