The Royal Photographic Society launched its new Documentary genre distinction at the end of 2019, defined as ‘Photography which communicates a clear narrative through visual literacy’.
The May 2020 edition of The Decisive Moment included a feature that covered the key points raised during the first dedicated Advisory day. It is intended to supplement, not replace, the definitive guidance published by the RPS Distinctions team and highlights additional sources of information that may be helpful to those aspiring for a distinction in Documentary.
