Abstract
Photography, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, has become a widely
used and popular artform for people documenting this unprecedented time in history.
With the emergence of Covid-19 in March of 2020, photographers of all skill levels set
out to document history in the making. Photography is an artform that helps bridge
parallels between people, places, and things, and being able to make sense of it all
through visuals brings us closer to each other's core of understanding. Photography is not
a one-size-fits-all medium. There are many photography styles, including portraiture,
landscape, action, architecture, documentary, and street photography. This literature
review will explore how street and documentary photography, photography styles, and
philosophies accentuate life during a global pandemic.
