Documentation, Report and Art

A photograph is being used in many different ways but the following are the main categories.

Art

An artistic photo is used to convey a story and tell something more than just a print. Here is an example:

Documentation

It means to document an event or happening, a place and so on.

Report

One might think that this is the same as dokumentation, but its not. It is similar but not the same. A report is used to tell a story, and in photography the photo has more meaning than just being a pretty picture.
