Fotografia dokumentalna – pomiędzy sztuką a nauką

Abstract

In the following article the author proposes a new approach to photo-document as a technology and its location on the border between the two matchmakers – art and science. Photography is a research tool that really contributes to the increase of knowledge about the world, brings new knowledge in a par with other scientific disciplines. On the other hand, many professional photographers demand that their work is seen through the prism of artistic criteria, a natural consider displaying their works in galleries and publishing them in albums.
