Truth in Images Documentary Photography:The Creation of Images to Tell a News Story
2
Documentary Photography Separated from photojournalism, street, or celebrity photography by the quality that the photographer attempts to produce truthful, objective, and usually candid photography of a particular subject, most often pictures of people. Historically, these photographs meant to accurately describe otherwise unknown, hidden, forbidden, or difficult-to-access places or circumstances and date to the earliest daguerreotype and colotype "surveys" of the ruins of the Near East, Egypt, and the American wilderness areas. The genre quickly adapted itself to war situations and exposés on the need for social reform.
