Spanish term or phrase: fotonovelista
A text about an Argentine photographer from the 40s

Friedman continuó su labor editorial como fotonovelista en la revista Idilio

While I know that "photonovel" exists, I think it is a more contemporary form and not associated with magazines. Could the translation here be "illustrator of fiction published in the magazine"?
Thanks

photonovel maker, creator, etc.
Explanation:
I can find no references for "photonovelist" although it would seen to be legitimate, but "photonovel" gets hits. Yes, I have seen many in magazine form, they use photos instead of drawings for illustration, but are otherwise in comic book format directed to people with limited reading ability. I would seen them often in Mexico.

You need some word like "maker" or "creator" or whatever solution you like to indicate a person who makes them.

I go back pretty far (in years) and I don't know if they are still popular. Probably not, but years ago they were common.

Idilio (Editorial Abril) era una publicación popular dirigida a un público mayormente femenino de clase media, que incluía una sección denominada “El psicoanálisis le ayudará”. Bajo el seudónimo de Profesor Richard Rest, el sociólogo Gino Germani y el psicólogo Enrique Butelman analizaban los relatos de sueños que eran enviados por sus lectoras para que luego Stern los ilustrara con fotomontajes que condensaban los elementos oníricos descriptos.

The Museum of Art of Latin America in Buenos Aires, the MALBA, recently mounted an exhibit of photo montages from a series titled "Los Sueños" (The Dreams). These surreal images accompanied a weekly column, "Psychoanalysis Will Help You," published in a popular women's magazine, Idilio (Idyll), from 1948 to 1951.

Photojournalist Grete Stern created the montages to illustrate dream reports Idilio readers submitted for discussion in the column.

The magazine Idilio sought a wide female audience. Along with articles on housekeeping and fashion, its first issue included a report on "the mysterious world of dreams." The magazine invited readers to answer a psychological questionnaire and send dream reports for a column aimed at helping them better understand emotions and manage conflicts.

I've also seen 'photo-story'. Try typing the person's full name + photo-story writer.

disagree  Henry Hinds: Definitely not a photojournalist. The product is like a comic book.

  -> As far as I can make out 'Idilio' was a women's magazine. But thanks for your opinon.
agree  lugoben: Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story

Photonovelist


Explanation:
From the interview cited below:
Heather, you describe yourself as a photonovelist instead of a photojournallist. Why is that? and how do your photos come into your novels?

I’ve pursued both writing and photography since my teens. In fact, my two favorite classes in high school were English and photography. Now, in my forties, I remain both a writer and a photographer. The term “PhotoNovelist” was coined when I acknowledged that I don’t write in the journalism field¾I write novels. So it’s a simple term to accurately describe my two passions!
