Documentary Storytelling

Notes from “Photography: The Key Concepts.” David Bate.

• A documentary photograph always has a point of view.
• “Reality is what we believe exists […] it also involves what individuals wish to exist.”
• Can my work be objective and give a ‘true’ visual description of my situation? Or will I always present a subjective view no matter how honest and un-biased I aim to be?
