To document is to record. Documentary photography, therefore, can be defined as the practice of photography that is based on the idea that the photograph is a record.
As a record, the photograph gets its authority from, among others, what is called the pro-photographic event (the event was there; it happened) effect and I was there (the photographer) effect. Furthermore, it also gets its authority from the sense of authenticiy it derives from what is called the indexical effect of conjectures of cirumstance. A photograph, in other words, is a "meeting place" or rendesvous of things such as the subject matter, framing, light, characteristics of the lens, the chemical and/or digital processing, etc.

sulit membaca pesan dari foto di atas, lebih bagus jik aobject lebih dekat...foto bisa lebih bercerita
waaupun terkesan monoton, komposisi sejajar mata (eyelevel) tetap menjadi favorit pecinta street photography.
