Why is the text aligned so strangely?

Faced a problem. For the first time I work with polygraphy, and I can't make the text visually sane. And no matter how hard I try, what tools I have tried, everything is the same.
The bottom line is that I have a narrow column of text that wraps around the photo. In the place where the column narrows, wild spaces between words begin to crawl out, and the words are stretched to disgrace. It all looks like some kind of trash.
I work in photoshop and illustrator.
Who fumbles in the printing industry, help find a solution! It is necessary that the text looks even, with the same spaces between words and letters.

In my opinion, typing errors and complex text in general interfere with the normal operation of the hyphenation algorithm, plus an excessively narrow column. Otherwise, the text is all right, the settings are more or less standard.
Put a couple of hyphens manually, that's why they exist - forced hyphens, in order to figure it out by hand where the algorithm fails.

As already mentioned, the column itself is too narrow for such a size. In a merchant, this problem is simply solved - they put negative tracking (letter-to-letter distance). But these are half measures. The disease is treated only with a new mesh. If this is not an option, you just need to put the picture between the lines so that the text does not wrap around it.
PS: humanity has not yet come up with anything better than InDesign for such layout, I strongly recommend that you study and not torment other programs designed for other purposes.
