What is "straight photography"?
Straight photography is a style of photography that emphasizes capturing a scene or subject exactly as it appears, without manipulation or alteration. This approach values sharp focus, clear detail, and an unembellished presentation of reality, often using minimal editing or darkroom techniques. Straight photography emerged as a reaction against more artistic or manipulated styles, aiming to show the world in an objective, truthful way. This technique is often associated with documentary photography and has been used to capture everything from landscapes to everyday life.
