TIPS FOR DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY Tell a story, narrates what happens through a series of photographs. If there are several issues that happen at the moment, Focus on one of them and tell the world about it. Remember that you must try to answer these questions with your image.: that?, who?, where?, when?, as? and why? It is important to have good reflexes and good control of the camera to be as fast as possible and not miss anything.. Research the topic beforehand and it will help you anticipate the action.. You can even go with a pre-list of the type of photos you need to show what is happening.. It may be a good time to break the photographic rules (although you must first know them in order to break them meaningfully). Observe everything that happens around you, Keep your eyes peeled because even the smallest details can be very important in telling your story.. Create a common thread from one photograph to another within your series, In this way, Your story will be better told and better understood.. Don't interfere with the scene. Try to stay as quiet and discreet as possible so as not to influence, To do this, find a comfortable place, but close and shoots in the eyes, to the heart of the scene. Shoot from different angles whenever possible. Take the time you need, Documentary photography cannot be done in a hurry. Respect the environment and never photograph something you don't really want to show.. Work without flash whenever possible (so as not to be intrusive). If the light conditions are more or less constant, You can work in manual and just shoot instead of constantly adjusting parameters or you'll miss part of your story.. Otherwise, Use the speed priority mode by selecting the one that allows you to avoid blurring. Title your photos. Although we have said before that a photograph must explain itself, A title can help to raise a question.
