Documentary photography

Documentary photography captures moments of genuine significance without manipulation, but the choice of what to frame, when to shoot, and how to contextualize the image means the photographer is always interpreting reality, not just recording it. The power comes from earning trust through integrity while acknowledging that bearing witness is itself an act of meaning-making.
