In my piece of text it is talking about how documentary
photography is changing.
In documentary: new
cultures and spaces.
This paragraph talks about how documentary photography only use to be used to
draw the attention of the audience to a particular subject, but now it is used
to show how ordinary people lived. It also tells us that the means of
documenting is not to take a photo to analyse what it is about but is a
“witness to nothing of great importance.” This meaning that the subject matter
of documentary is expanded to include whatever the photographer wants.
Theory and the
critique of documentary.
In this paragraph it talks about how photographs are seen as “pieces of texts that need to be structured and encoded”. It talks about how looking at the work expresses power and control over the spectator.

Cultural politics and
everyday life.
In this paragraph it talks about how instead of documentary photography being about “ordinary and everyday life” recordings it was also being shown as a way of showing our own particularity and differences. Feminist groups took photos to politicise concepts such as motherhood to overcome the limitations of documentary photography.

The real world in
colour.
In this paragraph it is talking about how the use of colour in documentation shows us things that we might have never seen before and how it can express and induce feelings. It also talks about how colour was regarded as lacking the technical control that black and white photography has. “To work in black and white now is to make a deliberate statement or to reference work from the past in a particular way.

Documentary and
photojournalism in the global age.
This paragraph talks about how documentary has moved on from social and politic views and is now being seen as more art on gallery walls. It also talks about how documentary is running out of history with new technologies that mean less time printing images.
