Abstract
The way of telling and communicating through photography has evolved throughout history, both in the way it is done and in the aesthetics used. In this text the informative fact is studied, attending to its role in photographic documentation, photo essay and press photography. These three ways of communication/teaching/denouncement have been used in different ways by both the photographers and the medium that has made them known: few times in an impartial way, others in a partisan approach and often crossing ethical boundaries that also include, in this case, the aesthetic veracity of the image.
