- The history of Spanish photojournalism, developed since the beginning of twentieth century, was closely tied to the cultural, historical and political discourse of the time. The Spanish colonisation of Morocco (1912–1956) shaped the photojournalist practices such that, a plethora of photographs were focusing on reaffirming Spain's Islamic past and portraying the ethnic, social and cultural ties of Spain to North Africa. Technical advancements in photography led to a rising interest in photography as publishers began complementing their texts with photographs. During the Civil War (1936–1939) photojournalism served as an objective transcription of the realities of the conflict between the Republican and Nationalist forces and influenced public opinion abroad. When Francisco Franco rose to power in 1939, photojournalism was constrained by censorship and regulations were put into place to prevent any materials critical of the regime from being circulated. The government controlled the informational input and output and articles and photographs had to be sent for consultation before being published. During this time, photographs mostly featured official events, military parades, government officials or the clergy. A new generation of photographers pushed the boundaries of conventional photojournalism at the beginning of the 1970s. An activist stance and vitality were characteristic of their photographs. After the fall of Francisco Franco in 1975, photojournalism worked as a tool used to advocate for the pro-democracy movement and helped attract international attention in regards to the lack of freedoms and civil liberties.
