• Narrative Realism – sometimes used in art/film criticism, not a formal photography term, but understandable.

• Idea-Driven Documentary – clear and descriptive, not an official term.

• Conceptual Reality – mostly coined; not common, but evocative.

• Thoughtful Documentary – descriptive, accessible, not formal.

• Symbolic Realism – occasionally pops up in art discussions, not mainstream.

• Documented Ideas – creative label, not a recognized style.

• Real-Life Allegory – more literary, can work conceptually, not a standard photography term.

In short: there’s no official term for the exact hybrid of documentary + conceptual photography. Most photographers either call it:

• “Conceptual documentary” (the clearest, academic term)

• Or use creative branding to explain their approach.
