Documentary photographers capture real-life events, people, and environments to tell stories through images. Their work often focuses on social issues, cultural events, or historical moments, aiming to provide a visual narrative that informs and engages the audience. They use their skills to document the world as it is, without staging or altering the scenes. These photographers often work on long-term projects, immersing themselves in their subjects to gain a deeper understanding. Their images can be found in various formats, including books, exhibitions, and online platforms, contributing to the fields of photojournalism and visual storytelling.
