Pick of The Week - Documentary

By Editor Peter Davidson (PoTW - #22007)
Edited and published by Yvette Depaepe, the 11th of August 2022

Crying Child of Mundari, South Sudan by Svetlin Yosifov

Is documentary photography a vanishing genre?
Many pionering magazines have slipped into obscurity as the internet has taken over and with it the shorter span of attention it brings has, it could be argued, diminished documentary photographic work.

But great work by dedicated photographers who adhere to recording what is happening in the world continues. It's just a little harder now to find stories that inspire, provoke thought and hopefully, a change. Either in attitude or physical action. Photographs of real impact that carry a message and a story.

These are the photographs that long remain in the mind, unlike videos that are quickly forgotten. That's the power of great documentary pictures. Long may it continue.
