Abstract

In this paper, besides reviewing the traits and the antecedents of contemporary documentary photography, two examples of this photographic genre will be seen. They took place in two very different countries (U.S. and Spain) at the same time: the eighties of the XX century. It is, firstly, the work of Mary Ellen Mark, who opted for a documentary on the line of the concerned photographers, and Miguel Trillo who photographed the Spanish youth when urban tribes real represented identities defined within a Spanish society immersed in democracy and freedom of expression.
