Documentary photography is used to capture important events that occur in a truthful manner Documentary photography is not posed, not planed and captures subjects in there natural state The use of documentary style photography has been very important since the Vietnam war as it gave a visual to the masses on the devastation that was occurring Documentary photography helps capture raw emotions https://www.google.com.au/search?q=documentar y+photography+definition&espv=2&source=lnms&t bm=isch&sa=X&ei=zxL0U727KdOLuASgx4LQDQ&v ed=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1224&bih=635

Artistic photography is an organised and planed type of photography that is used to bring awareness of social issues The photos use elements of lighting, colour and may use signs or writing to emphasise the cause. These type of images may be captured in studios,on the streets and environments that have been manufactured http://www.themysteryworld.com/2014/0 7/photographer-challenges-female- beauty.html

Jeongmee yoon is a social photographer who has been capturing consumerism in the youth of South Korea since 2005 the series called the pink and blue project captures how the demographic is sold a colour of toys and creates a divide between gender at a young age. The composition of the photographs create the idea that the subject seems to blend into the surroundings as they are in the mid to back frame of the image. The element of colour is used to bring forward the idea of gender and youth this is a very dramatic way of portraying this issue http://500photographers.blogsp ot.com.au/2010/10/photographe r-149-jeongmee-yoon.html
6
I believe the message that was intended for this series of images is that youth is being sold their interpretation of gender instead of choosing it for themselves.
7
The style of artistic,environment, lifestyle and portraiture photography is cleverly used to capture this issue, it shows the types of items that children gravitate towards.

Images from :http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2012/jan/20/big-picture- homeless-lee-jefferies#/?picture=384706188&index=6 The style of photography Jefferies has used is portraiture photography I believe that this was an excellent choice when capturing the subjects as it helps to grasp the emotion and feeling and also gives the element of humanity to the picture

Angelo Merendino decided to capture his wife's battle with breast cancer the series was called “we didn'tt choose this battle “ and captures emotion, pain and everyday life of a cancer sufferer. The shots have many that use the rule of thirds that give a spectrum of the surrounding of the subject and the images have been captured in black and white to help draw out the visuals of emotions. http://resourc emagonline.co m/2013/11/hu mbled-blown- away-angelo- merendino- goes- viral/#_amu2s bhv
12
I believe the intention of this series is to show that cancer can effect anyone no matter what age,religion or social standing and it bring the importance of living life of the full. The style of the photography that was used was portraiture documentary photography this was a great choice when capturing people in there most vulnerable state.
