This is Dead Shops in Brighton. It’s a Photo Documentary about Covid-19 with an abstract and slightly surreal presentation style. Deliberately so.
Reportage and Documentary Photography Galleries
Galleries featuring my UK and international reportage photography and work as a documentary photographer. There's a written narrative or editorial provided for each gallery too.
Similar Genres
Reportage and documentary photography are similar genres. They can appear to be the same thing. That's because both genres:
1. Use the art of photography for storytelling.
2. Convey stories about people.
3. Might provide a written narrative or editorial to accompany the images (where appropriate).
What is the Difference?
We've established the similarities. So what is the difference between documentary and reportage photography then?
Reportage vs Documentary Photography
The difference is actually quite distinct. Let me explain:
Reportage photography tells a story about a single event. For example: Weddings, festivals, parties or protest demonstrations.
Whereas Documentary photography tells a story about a topic. For example: Social issues, different cultures, charities or corporate sectors.
