Is documentary photography subjective or objective?

Documentary photography is both subjective and objective. Because, as documentary photography, it must objectively reflect the reality and cannot be false, otherwise it is not documentary photography. However, for the same thing, different people have different positions, different perspectives and different feelings. Photographers choose their own subjective feelings to express themselves and infect others. From this perspective, it is subjective. For example, the same news, Chinese and foreign media reports may be completely different, and the fact is the same.

I hope to adopt.
