What is documentary photography?

Documentary photography and scenery are two different subjects and directions of photography, and they both have great hobbies. The difference between documentary photography and scenery mainly includes the following aspects: First, documentary photography is a rational thinking and the implementation of filming after planning, which has certain social significance, while scenery is not prominent in this early stage, but more is the pursuit of natural aesthetics. Second, documentary photography does not have high requirements for absolute time, space, weather and environment. However, landscape photography has higher requirements for these factors and wants to show the characteristics and beauty of the scenery. Third, the documentary and landscape categories bring different feelings to the viewers. Documentary class focuses on the facts that exist objectively, and wants viewers to think ideologically, while landscape class focuses on the feeling that nature brings beauty to the world and living environment. Fourth, the equipment used to shoot scenery is different from that used to record photography. Most landscape works pay attention to breadth and momentum, while documentary photography pays attention to reflecting facts and paying attention to the use and expression of medium and long focus. 5. The technical skills used in documentary photography and scenery are different from the requirements for image quality. The first requirement of documentary photography is shooting and recording, and what skills and techniques are used in landscape photography to ensure fine picture quality and convey the charm of the scenery as much as possible. 6. The requirements for post-production adjustment are different. In principle, recording photography can not be adjusted later, but can only be adjusted like cutting composition, contrast between light and dark, sharpening, black and white transformation, etc., while the later work of landscape photography is to beautify and decorate as much as possible to achieve visual impact and beautification.
