163. Capturing Life as It Is: The Art of Documentary Photography with Gøril Sætre

Feb 25th, 2025 6:00 AM

Documentary photography is about capturing life as it truly unfolds—unscripted, unpolished, and beautifully authentic. It’s a storytelling approach that focuses on real emotions, genuine connections, and the raw beauty of everyday moments. Unlike traditional photography styles, it avoids posed perfection, instead embracing the chaos, tenderness, and nuances that make each story unique. For photographers, documentary work is an opportunity to preserve memories that feel honest and timeless, reflecting the heart of the people and relationships they capture.
