Documentary Photography

This photograph by Robert Capa is a shot from the D Day landings on Omaha Beach June 6 1944, This historic day in world history is caught on the lens of his camera, and that makes this photo and much of his work stick out to me its he captures motion and the chaos of these events. Multiple works of his show this where there is noise used but in a way that makes the photo more descriptive and having a story rather than hurting the image.

This photograph by Sebastio Salgado is pictured in Brazil during a catastrophic drought they had, what I love about this documentary photograph is that even though we can tall there is some sort of tragedy, that is not shown in this picture but we see the children ,taking the most out of the situation playing games to pass time and take their minds off the drought.
