Active / Informational Photography
An informational photograph is a visual record of a person, place or event. Although informational pictures lack depth and storytelling qualities, they can provide important information. Sometimes photojournalists are limited to taking informational pictures because of lack of access or position to make a better picture.
Passive photography
Photojournalists often have to take posed pictures of their subjects for their publications and websites. Although this may not be the photojournalists’ first choice, it may be the only alternative if the event or action is no longer taking place. Creative environmental portraits are a legitimate means of illustrating stories. It should be clear to the reader that the portraits are posed.
