A Photographer's Guide to Documentary Photography

A Photographer's Guide to Documentary Photography With photography, we capture the essence of freedom with authenticity, by preserving the moment in inhuman time. We can traverse back in time and meet a World War I veteran or go on a spiritual journey to the most serene mosque. We may visit a refugee camp, where life suddenly stands still, or join a peaceful demonstration for Gaza to stop the sorrow and pain of her people. We may perhaps just overlook them and fly over the Detroit River, or enjoy the century-old Tower Bridge on the river Thames. We can simply take a journey through the corridor of passion that leads us to the Far East, Beijing then to Niseko, Japan, down to the land of Thousand Islands, then to the deserts of Africa, the mediaeval villages in Indian subcontinent or to the mountain of Himalayas. Despite the variety of locations, there is a common theme in photography, capturing a moment in time.

A Guide to Making Your Readers Read As writers, our goal is to set the tone for our readers, and it is the opening sentence, or the first paragraph or two that hook the readers. In theory, we call it a lede, which is the fine piece of writing that opens the door into the rest of your story. It is about how you make your readers read, introduce them to the subject and then establish the direction in a dramatic, comedic, or a serious manner.
