What’s the difference between Documentary & Lifestyle Photography?

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPSPODCASTCHILD & LIFESTYLE

Sep 17

In this episode, I’m answering a question from one of our listeners, Emma, who wanted to know a little bit more about documentary and lifestyle photography, and what the difference was between the two. She asked:

“I’m never sure whether to call myself a lifestyle or documentary photographer. I like capturing unposed shots, and more candid moments, but I’m not really sure of the difference between the two. And does it matter?”

So tune into this week’s episode where we’ll chat about both forms of photography, what makes them different, and whether it really matters which one you call yourself!

Tune in to listen to me chat about:

An overview on what documentary is
An overview of what lifestyle photography and how this differs from documentary photography
Whether this is relevant to you as a “hobby” photographer, and whether this changes when you are in business

And if you have a question you’d like me to answer, or a topic you’d like me to cover, then be sure to let me know - just go to the link below, and ask away!
