PICTORIANISM VS REALISM-Straight photography

Julia Margaret Cameron was a photographer in the Victorian era. And she was special because she was one of the only female photographers back in her time and everyone was interested in her, she used her family and sibling for her photography .Her photographs focused on both religious and literally work.

Peter Henry Emerson was famous for his book that he wrote and his photographs that had a lot of realism in them and color.

A lot of groups of photographers arised in that time for example The Vienna Camera Club which was mostly on female nudes which raised a lot of concerns and questioned because now a days sexism is not much of a thing any more and females have more rights because the world became more modern, while in the old days specially examples like The Vienna Camera Club you can see how the females bodies where objectivide and that was a normal thing

the pictorialist where a group of photographers around the world which created photographs which had a lot of symbolism in them which where objects in a photograph that meant another thing most of the time about religious or literal stuff

Walker Evans was a documentary photographer that rejected Pictoralisim by photographing farmers or low class people and families and there houses to deliver a message to the people
