the document

Photography is an effective way to document, it can be purposeful or neutral. James Nachtwey said, "I have been a witness and these pictures are my testimony. The events I recorded must not be forgotten and must not be reported"

Photography is the ability to capture moments in time, document historical events, see and enable everyone to see what you have seen. Spreading your visual word.

PHOTOGRAPHERS-

• Lewis Hine, child labourers in Indianana
• Roy Shoyker, photojournalist "the photo as both photojournalism and the perfect lobbying tool"
• Margaret Bourke, sharecroppers home (1937)
• Dorothea Lange, Migrant Mother (1936)
• Walker Evans, documentary photographer
• Robert Frank, Parade (1958)
• Robert Capa, Normany, France (1945) Historical record
