Spanish term or phrase: fotografía “autoral”,
This is from a text about an Argentine photographer. I am not sure if "authored photography," "authorial photography," "photograph de auteur," or something else entirely would be best. It refers to photography as an artform produced by a specific artist, with a distinctive style or eye:

Humanario, uno de los primeros fotolibros argentinos consolida la fotografía “autoral”, respaldada por la escritura de Julio Cortázar, cuyo Bestiario se evoca en el título.

Thanks!

Explanation:
An auteur is an artist with a distinctive approach, usually a film director whose filmmaking control is so unbounded and personal that the director is likened to be the "author" of the film, thus manifesting the director's unique style or thematic focus.
