	Documentary photography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Documentary photography usually refers to a type of professional photojournalism, but it may also be an amateur or student pursuit.
		Sometimes an organization or company will commission documentary photography of its activities, but the pictures will only be for its private archives.
		Sometimes amateurs unintentionally make documentary pictures that are later found to be of great historical value, since they are good images of subjects that have since disappeared forever and which no-one else bothered to record.

	Francisco Mata Rosas
		Documentary photography is breaking new trails in the same way as, and alongside with, communications.
		Photography has dodged what many believed to be eminent death at the hands of live communication and moving images.
		To debate the peculiarities of documentary work versus that which is not documentary (although even at this point I am not absolutely certain which is which), seems complicated to me. It reminds me of those roundtables that debated whether or not photography was an art.

	What’s documentary about photography?
		Digitalization is the prime suspect in the much-discussed death of photojournalism and crisis of documentary photography (though “the end of photography as evidence of anything” is surely one among many instances of the postmodern retreat from the referent).
		I use the word “directed” to describe the genre of photojournalism characterized by the photographer’s intervention in the scene he or she is photographing, though the term “quasi-journalistic” might be more exact, since these individuals are working within the notions of non-interference and believability that reign in the contexts of news imagery.
		Documentary credibility is based on the belief of nonintervention in the photographic act, and its discourse is structured into “codes of objectivity” that veil the effect of the photojournalist’s presence (Schwartz 1992).

		Curtis is currently at work on a book manuscript on the impact of racial attitudes on documentary photography during the 1930s.

	Street & Documentary Forum: Documentary Photography
		Documentary photography doesn't appear much on photo.net because it takes a level of concentration and commitment to a subject and to photographing that subject that most photo.netters don't have.
		What sets documentary photography apart is you go out not to create unconnected images but to create a body of work, all relating to a single subject, and as Jeff pointed out, all shot with a consistent point of view.
		Documentary photography is a deeper, broader undertaking that no single image, or mere handful of images, can succeed at.

	What’s documentary about photography?
		In the sort of brief encounter that seems to have been typical of FSA photography, Lange took six pictures of the woman and her children in the space of ten minutes.
		Comparing the various images makes it clear that Lange had the woman and two children pose in different positions until she had the photo she wanted: the mother’s face is framed by her hand, reflecting her anguish, and the children look away from the camera so as not to distract.
		A glance at the newspapers of the period, and the photography produced by the foremost Spanish photojournalist of the war, Agustí Centelles, confirms the notion that many images were posed.

		Documentary photographs are considered to be visual records of events, people, places, and other subjects.
		Color processes in photography extend back to the early years of the twentieth century, but were somewhat ignored by documentarians because color had been closely associated with commercial rather than artistic practices.
		The use of color in documentary work did not come into wide practice until the 1960s, when commercial color film processes were perfected.

		By the beginning of the twentieth century, photography was well on its way to becoming the visual language it is today, the pervasive agent of democratic communication.
		Photographers used its growing influence to expose society's evils, which the prosperous, self-indulgent Belle Époque chose to ignore: the degrading conditions of workers in big-city slums, the barbarism of child labor, the terrorism of lynching, the devastation of war.
		The rigorous demands of detailed record photography soon influenced his painting as the direct, generally frontal assessment of both an object's form and structure retrained and refined his eye.

	Documentary Photography
		Against this pattern of sterility, of ideas which could not reproduce themselves, we have the new function (and evolving from it the new esthetic) of documentary photography, an application of photography direct and realistic, dedicated to the profound and sober chronicling of the external world.
		The reason that the difference may so clearly be illustrated is that the difference in ideas of the new photography and all the old styles is like the difference between two continents: it is a "passage to India" to travel from the old to the new.
